Re: "New Kindle Fire Review"

Hi Greg,

A how-to is no problem. 

Stating a DISCOURAGEMENT of not using the Fire would be O.K., too.

BUT, suggesting to buy a particular device over another is not! Especially,
if it is in what is proposed as a review.

This sort of review some-how gives me the feeling that the author has been
paid for his actions.

In case anyone I am not naming the author is not that I do not know his
name, yet the author and PG on their site prefer to leave the review
anonymous. This, also, gives me the impression that the author and PG
are worried about repercussions or liability.

I personally, to not care for the Fire myself nor any other dedicated ereader.

regards
	Keith.
