If that was all it was about, they would only sell one brand of air conditioner. Obviously, it's more complicated than that. But as far as ebooks go, what I was responding to was the implication that a reviewer should hold back and not nitpick the formatting or opine about value for money so as not to hurt the author's feelings. In that respect, I wholeheartedly disagree. I don't believe personally in writing reviews that are cruel. But if I have constructive feedback and I express it tactfully, I feel that any comment I want to make is my privilege. The author put it out there on the marketplace for sale. If they can't handle reviews, they shouldn't have put it out there. The item being a book instead of something else doesn't change the rules of commerce for me.
