Very good article. The part that disturbs me the most are all of the negative comments directed at authors. Yes, I'm sure in some cases it may be justified, but I'd bet in most it is completely up to the publishers and the authors have little if anything to do with the decisions that have angered the people making the comment.

On the same hand - I read about people deliberately leaving one star ratings and negative comments and I think that that is grossly unfair, and is certainly the wrong way to go about it. If there were a way to rate the publishers separately from the book then sure, but dont say the book sucks because you're mad at the publisher.
