This review is pretty over the top negative. Not saying it's wrong, but the product has over a thousand reviews on Amazon.com and the average is four stars. You can always take a trip out to best buy/target/etc. to play with it.

That distribution of reviews doesn’t look very healthy. Compared to the other Kindles it’s doing badly as far as reviews are concerned.

  So far I don't trust any kind of analysis of the reviews. One of the top negative reviews was, "Didn't have a camera. WTF. Returned."

    Really? How could someone be so stupid as not to check something like that if it was that important to them?

    That’s always going to happen. I think that looking at the distribution of reviews and also reading a few negative reviews (because it’s generally possible to figure out whether reviews are negative for valid reasons) is very helpful.

      I know, but my thought is to give it a couple weeks, and the percent of noise should go down.
