I felt the author was making a bit much out of this, especially to spend so much time mulling over the negative feedback. This is a passive aggressive blog, spawned by passive aggressive transaction notes. If I received such notes and felt moved to action, I would have either a) shot an email back explaining my laziness and apologizing, admitting I understand their position (because I do), and offering once more to send the book back, or b) viewed the notes as a jaded but fair note given my slow reaction, not responded at all, and just given the feedback as if the note did not exist. But I doubt I would have returned the thing at all, and probably have just either given it away or sold it to a used book store nearby (probably at a loss) because I personally don't feel 10$ is much to eat when my own hasty purchase resulted in me getting something I didn't need. I do realize that everyone has their own habits, though, when it comes to returns/money/etc. edit: clarity
