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.

How is anything "destroyed" for anyone else? Is someone stopping you from buying the book or threatening you with mayhem if you do? All you need to do as a potential customer is READ THE REVIEW instead of only counting the stars on your fingers.
As far as I can tell, people are generally objecting not to the actual price, but the price
differential between the paper book and the e-book.
Vandalism, my eye. This is really veering into the nonsensical now.
How many of you screamed bloody murder about censorship when Amazon removed some explicit self-published books? But now Amazon should censor reviews? Ridiculous.
