I'm always browsing, and I see this quite a bit. One kindle ebook I was looking at had a lot of 1 stars, so checked them out. They were all complaining about the actor chosen to read the audio book. Not helpful with an ebook review. I don't know if they made the mistake or Amazon is merging reviews.
Formatting I can see a 1 star. Bad formatting makes a book hard to read, destroys the flow of the story. Don't want that.
On the other hand, price complaint I think are uncalled for. I can see the price, thanks. I don't need anyone else's opinion on whether it's too high or not. And do they ever bother and revamp their review if the price of the book drops? Or should the ebook carry the 1 star rate even if they drop down to 99 cents?
I just don't think giving stars on prices is fair, or needed. Too expensive? Just don't buy it.
