Description

If you write or buy ebooks you probably pay attention to the ebook review systems that exist - you shouldn't. This short expose details how easily people manipulate the ebook review systems - and for a variety of reasons, and how meaningless a process it is. When an author can buy a favourable review for a few cents, is the review system worth the effort?

Yes, Eero Tarik, e-reviews aren't worth the bandwidth they occupy, but what's the alternative? Answer me that question in your second edition of this book and I'll give you your fifth star!
