Review device?

Anyone know who I can talk to so I can get a review Kindle for my site? I do reviews of print copies of metaphysical books (http://davensjournal.com), but if ebooks gain in popularity, some publishers may come up with ebooks of the same stuff. Thus having a review of a reading device might be a good thing to have.

I'd prefer a Kindle since I like what I see, several gig of storage, wireless and self contained. However if you want to suggest another device, I'm for it. But I would need to get one of them for free (please, please, please).

Sony's DRM psychoses are indeed icky. However, I don't deal with the Sony bookstore; I read LRF files made with Calibre (free, open source software), PDFs I make myself and some from manybooks or feedbooks, and RTF files.

The Sony Reader allows people to avoid contact with Sony and still have lots of ebook options.

But I am aware that Sony's got a lousy customer service record all around, and I probably would have a Bookeen or Cybook if those had been available during the brief window I had for shopping. I do intend to review those as well.
