Hmmm... especially when one is billing oneself as "the definitive news outlet for e-books, e-readers and digital publishing" and loudly trumpeting one's "high journalistic integrity"?

At any rate, they seem to have had second thoughts about making their practices public. The ad is now gone from their store. However, I have little doubt that the practice remains. Hope more than a few of their readers had the chance to see it.
Go read my post again. I didn't say anything about the ethics of doing it.

I was pointing out the inherent unfairness of criticizing one small blog by explaining the context.
