I can see the problem with reviewing it like this. These 1 Star reviews make little sense. You cant rate even the 'package' because there isnt one. Theyre complaining because they cant buy it a format of their choice. I can see that and dont blame them. However I fail to see how putting 1 Star reviews hurts the publisher or would even somehow rouse their attention. Looking at most of those 1 Star reviews one can tell that theyre mostly about the Kindle. Knowing that they ignore them all and go to 2 Star reviews which, hopefullly, are on the product.
Guess itll only work if people just look at the number of stars and base their purchase on that instead of reading the reviews. If someone decides whether to buy the book or not based on just the number of stars the publisher may be losing some money here. Im not sure if anyone buys books like that so I dont know. Thats the only real way I can see this affecting the publisher and sales, but even then I dont think theyd care.
