Same goes for books. If a book is filled with errors, I want to know about it. Before I plunk down my extremely hard earned "fun" money, I want to make sure that I am not getting a lemon. If the publishers want to play games with the books I WANT to buy, then they need to expect a backlash.
And since there isn't any other way for us, the consumer, to protest about the non-release of a book, we have to fight with the tools given us. Hence the 1 star reviews.

Okay......so how are you reviewing something you don't have yet?? You can't guess the quality of the "package" unless you have it to review right??
