I agree that is the better response, but it's not always easy. I tried once (to tell the publisher that I wasn't going to buy a particular book that I wanted, because it was around £15 for the ebook, while the paperback list price was £9.99), but I found it difficult to find contact details for the publisher. I'm still not sure if I sent my e-mail to the right address.
After that experience, I'm disinclined to bother trying to contact the publisher. I'll just not bother buying the book.

1 star reviews based on errors - yes, absolutely. Poor formatting and numerous errors will make a book unreadable for me, no matter how good the story.

Agreed. I think I've only ever left two 1-star reviews: one for a phone, one for
this ebook. In the case of the ebook, the formatting was so bad that some pages simply wouldn't display on my Kindle, and others required me to use the 5-way controller to pan left & right.
