checks the # of reviews for the Kindle on Amazon on a regular basis just to see how many are there? It's compulsive for me....

I like to read the reviews made by people that do not even own one. It amazes me the gaul
of these.

I've never looked. My compulsion seems to be this forum and my Kindle...and I almost forgot, Kindle acessories.  Linda |

I've not looked either! But I've always thought of public forums (not this one of course) to be a bit like having a conversation in a bar with people who've been drinking. They're not afraid to voice an opinion whether backed by knowledge or not. Betsy |

I usually glance over at the number of reviews and the "in stock" or shipping status (esp. since the Oprah show, just to see how much it affected the stock status LOL) when I'm on the Amazon board, since it shows over on the right hand side of the forums, but I don't actually go and read any reviews or go to the Kindle page. |

I looked at the number of reviews quite a bit in the first few months. Now I don't look at the quality, but I do - for entertainment (I'm strange that way) - look for the reviews that are non-reviews.

I look everyday! I want to see what people are saying. I really hate it when people write a review and they don't even have the product.

They're not afraid to voice an opinion whether backed by knowledge or not. Betsy Hey! Why that's not true at all *hic*! I'll have you know that my little Skinderella can contact Jeff Bezos himself, display screensavers in color, and can tell me when the clothes are ready to come out of the dryer! Bartender, another round over here for my highly knowledgeable opinion spouting friends and me.  |

Two problems with that here. 1) I don't drink...alcohol. 2) In S.E. GA bars close mid night SAT/SUN and don't reopen until Monday. Not sure when but definitlly Monday. I do know stores can't sell booze until after 0700 Monday. sucks to be an alkie in this state. |
