Sulking At Amazon

This is from the stranger.com's post, "Holding Stephen King Hostage." Paul Constant describes what is called a"Falling Stars Campaign."
.
They're at it again: Kindle users are giving Stephen King's new book Full Dark, No Stars bad reviews on Amazon. But unlike past protests, they're not complaining about the lack of Kindle version. Instead, they're complaining that the hardcover price is cheaper than the Kindle edition by about fifty cents."
.
Did you catch the last line? Fifty cents. 0.50
.
Really? People are giving this great book a bad rating because they need to sulky pout over fifty cents. Well, "about" fifty cents... so maybe seventy five cents.
.
I don't own a copy of either versions (Scribner or Kindle) but am patiently waiting for Cemetery Dance to publish their illustrated version. It was more than fifty cents above the Scribner hardcover. In the meantime, I am joyfully listening to my CD's.
