A review's a review. Including the product price as compared to perceived value. It seems the sellers want to have their cake and eat it, too. You sell an e-Book for more than the hardcover -- be prepared for people to lower the value they assign to the product that you are selling at your price. Otherwise, just relabel your review section to "Whore for us". (A bit strong, admittedly, but this is starting to stink of hypocrisy. Pooor Amazon! /sarcasm) EDIT: At the same time, people should learn that the physical costs of a physical book are actually a fairly small component of it's overall cost. IIRC, often a dollar or two (US). Amazon et al. discounts on physical books often represent in good part the lack of retail overhead. If you want bookstores, you need to patronize them. And decide that you find enough value to pay the additional expense that keeps them in business. When a staff member helps you, directly or by stocking/shelving an item you otherwise would not have found, realize this and make a decision to "pay the freight".
