How come it's all right to refuse to buy a book based on price (even though that hurts the author, who--we've been told--is just an innocent pawn in the wicked pricing schemes of the evil publisher), but it's not all right to criticize pricing publicly in a review? Price is an aspect of the product being purchased, and a legitimate area for comment.

No, not buying the book will not hurt the author as much as giving bad ratings. It also hurt other readers that want to buy the books but might not be able to do it in the future.
Also, the criteria for protesting is arbitrary and kind of not understandable. Were do people get this price the consider to be morally or objectively right? Why should some peoples opinion of the correct price destroy for a lot of other people. It is like vandalizing a shop instead of not just stop using the shop.
