Re: "New Kindle Fire Review"

I agree that that does not appear appropriate. If you must, you could even
have some kind of "editor's choice" page, where you make it clear that it
is one person's opinion being reflected.

But such a review, with a prominent link on the home page just gives the
impression of someone lashing out in a fit of pique.

There are plenty of web sites out there that will review various ereader
machines. Why not just provide links to some of them?
