See here for a full description of what reasons readers will give for chucking the book aside. Or, if the book is really bad, to just toss the ereader in the trash.

1) Egotistical, argumentative, narrow-minded writers. (If I encounter this kind of mind-set, then I won't even bother to read the book.) This has happened on some occasions when I look at reviews on Amazon and the author comes back as an argumentative jackass.

2) A writer who can't be bothered with proofreading his/her book, due to innate laziness or a 'huh?' attitude. Death is always around the corner, but that book doesn't have to be. NEXT!

3) [As a moderator and reader]: Writers/publishers who can't be bothered to read our guidelines - on a repeated basis, I mean. I won't be bothered to read the book. And that author/publisher is usually history, anyway.

4) [As a moderator and reader]: Writers who are so incredibly lazy that they repeat the same old promotional phrase every 7 days for an update posting here at MobileRead. (Examples: 'Updating,' or 'Another new week, so another update.' I mean - THAT'S IT?)
