I'll complain about anything :)

But I'm not clear as to the problems with POD books, so feel free to vent and inform me.

Yes! It sucks! Let us discover books by pure chance, while browsing the shelves of a bookstore!

Wait, what is print on demand and why is it bad? Just-in-time production of books seems like a good idea in theory, but I haven't deeply examined the idea.
