This is known as the tyranny of the majority.

Do you think the tyranny of the minority is better? At least the majority contains the thoughts of more people.

We know what happens with virtually no controls on uploaded content, tons of garbage. Making it harder to find the gems.

That would be a big boon if you did, right now I'm using a PDF that is an exact copy of the original, but it would be even better to have the Kindle version.

This is not really on topic but a short reply is "no" I don't have the imprimatur on the exact electronic copy; however, the pdf that I worked from did have imprimatur.

The topic has broadened. I would be happy with any efforts from Amazon (and especially from B&N because it's worse over there) to reduce fake reviews (whether 5-star or 1-star).

I'm not sure what you're referring to, perhaps that an ebook hooligan will reject a book so that it does not interfere with the promotion of their own book?

If a book is rejected it will immediately be sent to twice as many reviewers as before, so that it can be better determined if the book should actually be rejected. If the book fails this rejection test, (meaning it passes review) The original rejector will be banned from the review system. It might be harsh but it might also work, only one way to find out

We only just got rid of one bunch of talentless hacks deciding what people are allowed to read, we shouldn't be in any hurry to replace them.

All books will still be available, this is just about marketing marketable books and allowing people to read them before purchasing.
