No, No--just continue to do what you're doing. It's much better, in my humble opinion, and I gather from the posts in other people's too, to have books of excellent quality even if it takes a while to get them there. I think the comments were aimed at people who forget they have the books or who download them just to read themselves and not work on them. Just do the best you can and try not to let comments bother you. As long as you keep renewing a book and don't keep releasing and then downloading, no one will know how long you have the book anyway.
