Amazon's contention with publishers over ebook prices is well known. I wouldn't be surprised if they were absolutely loving the review-protests. Amazon exec reads the reviews, laughing: "Haha, that's right, stick it to the man, woo!"

Just because Amazon probably supports this action, does it invalidate the protest? If Amazon tries to put pressure on publishers and authors to give us better prices then more power to them.
Let us face it, Michael Connelly has money to burn and should be in a position to do something about this situation. This is not some poor guy whose livelihood could be affected by this. So if people don't protest now, then when? Only when nobody listens?
