I know I'm late to this conversation, but I'm on this side of the fence.
I drop and delete a book if the heroine/main female character is an obvious doormat. I don't mind if she's sweet and gentle, real women can be either of these things without being weak and completely lacking in willpower. Sadly, the mousy type that's incapable of saying no to anyone in her life in case it hurts her feelings, has been way too common in the free books I've been reading lately... last night this obnoxious character type showed up in two books in a row, and that irritated me so much that my dog picked up on my quiet fuming and slunk out of the room.
