They may think it's written into the rules of bitcoin that a new block is discovered every 10 min, instead of on average every 10 min.

You can buy bitcoin using Purse.IO.
However I do not think it's a good idea to add purse.io to ways you can buy bitcoin because there is a chance that at any moment Amazon can shut them down and then the comment will become obsolete.

I took the Coinbase description from their own about page. They are not an exchange, since you do not exchange bitcoin with other users, you buy and sell it directly with Coinbase. The big value they bring is making it easy to use bitcoin.

As I read through the history of Bitcoin section I kept asking when are you going to get to the part about Bitcoin. I think half of that section is really events leading up to Bitcoin, as well Bitcoin didn't have any history until it was invented.

Maintain consistency. If you're gonna show an example bitcoin address, should show an example private key. It also helps to understand it further when you can see an example.

I think it's better to explain the value and usage of a fee, instead of a more technical definition that identifies how it works.
It is possible for a transaction to be processed without a fee.
