Author Over-Reacts, Part 2 – An Update On Literary Cluelessness
In my previous post (WTF! Amazon Loses Die By Wire Reviews – The Ugly Sequence) I noted the sudden disappearance of five of my 13 Die By Wire reviews.
Well after my blog posts and Tweets and emails, I got a large number of return emails, DMs and IMs (some of them from bookstores telling me “I warned you about Amazon” … but that’s another story).
I did get an email from one of the reviewers that sheds some light: Not on reviews disappearing, but Amazon losing its senses.
DUMBER THAN A BAG OF ROCKS
Instead of having reviews of both print and Kindle versions available for potential readers, only the print reviews are displayed with print versions and Kindle reviews displayed for the Kindle.
5+8= a total ZERO in the logic department!
The words are the same. The book is the same.The cover is the same. Amazon includes hardback reviews with paperback because THEY ARE THE SAME!
To deprive potential Kindle buyers of opinions of paperback readers and vice versa is so stupid it makes the U.S. tax code seem logical!
