So, in order to keep from feeling like total shit, I simply don't go there!

The thing w...Brenna--Well said! I agree with you. <br /><br />The thing with Amazon is that they will never change this policy. They get way too much traffic from the general public because everyone and their brother knows they can easily post a quick nasty comment on Amazon, whether you bought the item or not. As long as Amazon is getting so much traffic, this won't change. Which just pisses me off.Anne Raineyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06110446131001665977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927196002363676480.post-88552986638142989302010-03-26T12:57:29.344-04:002010-03-26T12:57:29.344-04:00That's just so dumb, Anne.

I gave it to someone who can access the format.

Some type of control needs to put in place. <br /><br />Mobipocket wasn't aware that anyone can post reviews without purchase until I asked for fake reviews to be removed. They couldn't remove them, but they'd look into a way to prevent those who didn't purchase through them from posting.

Censorship sucks, but if the "reviewer" clearly states the book was given 1 star JUST because it wasn't available on Kindle, then the "review" should be removed! If you want to read the book SO badly that you can't wait for the Kindle version, buy a paper copy. I still love them.
