Firstly the author isn't blaming readers, they're blaming Amazon. Secondly, if a typo is found in your work would you expect it to immediately be pulled from sale? What if there was no typo at all and the reader was mistaken? Is it fair to pull it from sale until the non-mistake is "resolved"? Can you not see how this is open to abuse?

Sure, but again - it's the same argument - the author should have taken enough pride in the manuscript to produce quality work to begin with. That's the root cause that put the author in this position.
