I think it was you that mentioned the likes of blogs and twitter in a previous post, using the Amazon ratings is really just another variation of that same theme.
Emailing the publishers will most likely just end up in their spam box.
Writing a letter to them is possibly more likely to be noticed than emails, but that is a whole other level of effort and very few people would bother.
Any other suggestions?

if you can, emailing the author might help. Tell the author why you won't be buying the book in any format. Also leaving a message on the author's website is a good idea if that can be done.
But if you do want to review the book to say about the delay issue, don't give it one star (can you post a review without giving any stars?) as it could be a really good book.
Take
Under the Dome for example. A lot of people on MR are reading it and really like it. So 1 star is wrong for a book that's good.
