I have been reading your blog regularly for some time and one thing that I have noticed is that Rimarkable is more of an editorial or opinion blog than it is a news blog. So long as you don’t compromise your opinion just to make a few bucks I don’t see an issue with you getting paid for it.

I think it’s fine as long it’s clearly disclosed that it is a PAID review. I like your opinion on most products, but if it’s a paid one i’d like to know.

I would vote against paid reviews. Cnet is a prime example of where paid means not as impartial.

IMHO sponsored reviews try to be a little partial in anyway and may affect your credibility, however it is understable that you need some kind of income to cover the expenses. They say “You control what you review” and probably it can let you avoid conflicts.
