The individual consumer is fighting back. Amazon reviews for books where the ebook price is higher than the pbook price are being inundated with one star reviews.

I have no love for the publishing industry... and I don't like to see ebooks priced higher than pbacks either, but the one-star review campaign pisses me off to no end.

It certainly is, but if you haven't purchased (or read) the book in question... you are completely ignoring the "value" portion of your own equation -- and hence negates your ability to review the product properly.
Flood the publisher with your angry emails, but don't disrespect the author with negatives reviews of books you didn't read. It's stupid and misplaced.
