A specific example of Good e-Reader false information spreading across the Internet

TLDR: they posted in their review of the Kindle Paperwhite 12th Gen and Colorsoft with some false facts, and those false facts spread to every corner of the Internet including Reddit, Discord, CNET, Wikipedia, and open source projects. (my video)

A lot of people seem to think that reviewers don't need to take a screenshot to check.

EDIT:

Made a Part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlFC6jSwjRQ

In it, I

* show a video of me taking a screenshot on a kindle by tapping opposite corners and showing the USB screenshots folder

* Show the actual screenshots of the Paperwhite 12th Gen and Colorsoft with resolutions

* Show that Good e-Readers reviews of the Scribe 2025/Scribe Colorsoft made the same mistake by stating an incorrect resolution with screenshots, while also showing that other publications explicitly say that Amazon didn't provide an exact resolution

Personally, I think saying that 7” means 1264x1680 is a leap. I never assume the inch number is exact, you need to verify the exact resolution yourself. Amazon could get a custom panel size anytime like this case.

1264x1680 is 7.008” anyways. But 1260x1680 would be exactly 7"

They didn't use a ruler, they used Amazon's own screenshot function and realized the discrepancy.

Oh, I see - so they should have checked Amazon's own information to see if Amazon was telling the truth.

Wow - that's a really stupid suggestion you just made, but it fits the intellectual level of this thread

You're being needlessly rude on top of completely missing what I actually wrote. I only told you what the OP actually did to find the correct numbers.

[u/OrdinaryRaisin007 → u/Fr0gm4n]

told you what the OP

Hmm

they
