So, maybe the publisher and/or author won't want to sell via Amazon for the eBook. Now, all the Kindle users who do want that author's eBooks won't get it. All you do is try to hurt the innocent. Now if you get all those people to email the publisher and/or author, you may have more impact on a positive note instead of "it just doesn't sell".

I'm NOT TALKING DIRECTLY TO THE PUBLISHER. Please read my posts. (Although even if I was, then the 1-star reviews are just another way of getting more people to tell the publisher, and are thus worthwhile anyway even under that strategy).
In the medium to long term, the way to make ebooks accessible is for only accessible ebooks to be bought. Publishers don't give a crap about any specific person not buying, but they will care about sales rankings - if the accessible ebooks are selling better overall, then they will notice - and it's via reaching the customers that this will occur.
And the author is
certainly going to care, if they have any clue whatsoever about new media (And if they don't, then they're going to bleed sales anyway).
I have no sympathy for companies trying hard not to sell to me. I'm quite willing to give them rope.
