Reading the New York Times On a Kindle 2

reifman links to his thorough and thoughtful review of the experience of reading a newspaper on the Kindle 2. "I've been eager to try The New York Times on the Kindle 2; here's my review with a basic video walk-through and screenshots. I give the Kindle 2 version of The Times a B. Software updates could bring it up to an A-. Kindle designers should have learned more from the iPhone 3G. Unfortunately, my Kindle display scratched less than 24 hours after it arrived. As I detail in the review, Amazon customer service was not very accommodating. Is it my fault — or will Kindle 2 evolve into an Apple 1G Nano-like $22.5M settlement? You can read about Hearst's e-reader for newspapers from earlier today on Slashdot."

When I saw that the link was to a technology blog, my first thought was maybe I should subscribe to it. Then the guy spends 425 words on a particularly lame rant about a supposed product defect (if it's defective, why didn't he return it for a refund instead of demanding that Amazon replace it?) and customer service that refused to see it his way.
Lost interest in the rest of the post, never mind subscribing to the blog. Bloggers really need to get over themselves.
