It's time to stop whining, and start doing.

I haven't bothered reading the rant/review, because I have little interest in
the Kindle, and even less in Mr. Perathoner's opinions. But it appears that he
has posted an opinion piece at gutenberg.org without prior approval, without
collaboration, and without any editorial oversight.

So why don't you do the same thing?

All volunteers at Project Gutenberg are equals. Just write your praises/review
of the Kindle and ask Mr. Newby to post it next to Mr. Perathoner's. If Mr.
Perathoner can do it, there's no reason you shouldn't be allowed to do it as
well, and then readers can make their own decisions.
