So because everyone else is engaging in it, that makes it alright to purposefully mislead your readers?
Hmmm... especially when one is billing oneself as "the definitive news outlet for e-books, e-readers and digital publishing" and loudly trumpeting one's "high journalistic integrity"?
At any rate, they seem to have had second thoughts about making their practices public. The ad is now gone from their store. However, I have little doubt that the practice remains. Hope more than a few of their readers had the chance to see it.
