I can and do. But there's a difference between blaming the genre and
blaming the product. For instance, if I write a review of Harry Potter,
I'm not going to spend five pages talking about how books have too many
words and you can get paper cuts if you turn the pages improperly! And
bookmarks only save your page, not your paragraph and word. Oh, and
reading in poor lighting can give you a headache.

When we talk about Harry Potter, let's talk about Harry Potter. When we
talk about books versus other media, let's leave Harry Potter as an
example and not the focus.
