Eleventh generation: no non-Amazon books?[edit]

"lack of support for e-books found outside of the Kindle Store" while the linked article says "Poor support for non-Amazon books". That's a huge difference! --0xF (talk) 12:13, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Goodereader.com is a potentially unreliable source[edit]

1.It appears that their editorial team(if they have one) is inept at fact checking. While looking at the sources it appears this blog site has been wrong on numerous occasions. An example is found in this this Kindle wiki page which has them cited for an article they prematurely published regarding native epub support(it is not native as their headline suggests, primary source mentions it is only through the send-to-kindle service). As of writing this is currently Cit. 122

2. Self-published source. It appears they often do not cite sources, and repeatedly publish incorrect assumptions. Here is just one example of them publishing multiple articles on a model of Kindle that never was materialized.[1][2] [3][4][5] Though this isn't unique to a single device/brand. [6][7]

3.They have plagiarized in the recent past, and have used unattributed images without consent on multiple occasions. [8][9][10][11]

In addition to the above there are some concerning aspects that may affect it's credibility. There is a conflict of interest with them maintaining an e-commerce store, which as a sidenote also has poor user feedback online [12][13]. There is no transparency to this, I could not find any disclosure after a quick glance at devices they both sell and review. Their headlines are typically sensationalized [14][15]. And a majority of the content is seems to be based on speculation, rumors, and opinion. They should not be viewed as reliable source, and I believe it is probably in best interest to take caution when citing them in the future. Tinycrab33 (talk) 20:36, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
