Reading, Grade 3 | 
Faleena Hopkins, instigator of #cockygate, has tried to say she‘s trademarked cocky because her readers have lost money by buying the wrong book because they were confused. Y‘all. I can‘t. I mean, come on. First, Amazon WILL refund on ebook purchases. I have seen the message myself- something like if you bought this in error click here. I don‘t pay that much attention because I don‘t actually buy books by mistake, even if I say I did. 😉
jpmcwisemorgan I‘m guessing Barnes & Noble and other ebook sellers will likely do the same. Second, I‘m having trouble believing large numbers of readers bought the wrong book because that means they weren‘t checking for HER NAME. If there are lots of readers who don‘t recognize her name that just might say something about her series. I can see that if you‘ve only read one or two books but if you‘re committed to a series you know the author. 7y
Bookzombie I agree with all of this! 7y
ReadingOver50 #boycottfaleenahopkins you can‘t trademark a commenly used word 7y
OrangeMooseReads Yeah how are they not able to read the name of the author? That suggestion made me laugh out loud and I got a dirty look from the cat 7y
jpmcwisemorgan @OrangeMooseReads I know, she basically called her readers stupid. 7y
