His comments were out of line, but I don't know if I would go as far as publishing an inacurate review of his work, maybe a 'little' harsh.
It really does puzzle me why some authors come out on this siding with publishers and basically denigrating consumers as self-interested pigs rather than book readers who simply want to be able to afford more books and pay a reasonable price for a format that is INCREDIBLY cheap to reproduce and transmit as oppose to paperbacks with their associated costs.
Bottom line is that it is not unreasonable to expect e-books to be cheaper than paperbacks. It is not. Authors suggesting that it is, deserve what they get, and trust me it won't be pretty, book reading consumers aren't fools.
