Hi All,
As a reader I appreciate reviews and comments being left in a book whenever
possible. I definitely always leave them when I validate. To me, it gives
the reader a choice; skip them if you want to, or read them if you're
interested.
Of course I don't scan and can definitely understand material not being
included if it's basically impossible. Otherwise I appreciate the book
being as close to what I would get if I could just buy a print copy at a
bookstore.
Hope this makes sense, and it's not going to turn into a controversial
topic! <smile>!

I might agree with you if all books in a certain genre had reviews by
authors in the same genre. But many do not have reviews in the book at all,
and those that do have them are not all by the same authors. So those that
do have reviews - especially by authors that I know and like - are of value
to me.
