If a person takes everything written in any self help book as gospel, without doing further research, that person deserves anything that happens as a result. Blindly following anything or any person is going to cause a problem eventually.

I'm going to agree with those in this thread who think that this just isn't an issue. If you think it's an issue, then stop reading "e-books that are sold on a very small scale" and only buy from the big publishing houses. If you are getting something for free, or almost free, you have no right whatsoever to expect perfection.
