"ebookers" may be in the minority now, but I do believe that this is a VERY rapidly changing circumstance.
good ol' JK can stay entrenched as long as she likes, but I for one have made my last legal purchase of any of her work until she comes out of the hole in the ground she has dug herself

Yes, I agree with all that, but what is happening with this ratings thing is simply punishing authors for what they could not forsee even a year ago. Publishing might be a business, but it can only come when people have the heart to write a book.
And I think that unless an author deliberately decides not to go ebook (which isnt what we are talking about with this ratings issue), all we are really talking about here, is people being able to wait, what, a month? before the book is released for kindle. Seriously, are people that self indulged they cannot wait a month?
