More 1-star reviews for non-Kindle books
We told you earlier about a coalition of Amazon reviewers attacking books that have no Kindle edition. Well, here’s another case, and evidence that their campaign continues: Michael Lewis’ The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine, currently the #1 bestselling book on Amazon, has no U.S. Kindle edition and, as of this writing, has been tarred with twenty-nine one star reviews, all but one of which is actually a complaint about the lack of a Kindle edition.
One customer, Dr. Jose Lopez, writes “we should all as consumers start a movement to boycott publishers who try to bully us into buying hard cover or any books.” Another, Tulsa’s mollybo: “I have some physical limitations that make it difficult to hold a physical book, so I’ve read eBooks for the last two years. Unfortunately, the publisher is keeping me from reading this one. I’m sure by the time they get around to publishing an electronic version something else will have caught my attention. Oh well, another lost sale, and another one-star review.”

A paperback probably violates the human rights of a Kindle owner. All that money spent on early-adoption of the Kindle, and they feel like second-class netizens. Poor babies.
