Spelling errors in eReder version

[Jaguwar]

I'm just wondering, has anyone else read the e-version, downloaded from Borders? If so, was it full of spelling mistakes?

I've noticed it with other books I've downloaded that way and wonder if it's all e-versions, whether it's Kindle or Nook or anything else, or if it's just a Borders problem or what.

Either way, I wonder why that would happen. Surely the print version (which was certainly printed from an electronic version of its own--maybe a PDF or a Word doc) wasn't so riddled with errors it would never have made it to press in the first place!

The obvious immediate question is: Did the print version have tons of errors?

I've noticed some of the older versions of e-books have a few errors. I think that came from scanning the text and the scanning software probably wasn't as good as it is today. Why the publisher can't go back and fix the errors after they are discovered, I have no idea. I understand the mistakes in free public domain books that volunteers are putting together but books that are being sold, I don't understand why there are errors.

Nope, not that I recall-but then again, I was a bit amazed by the whole "cuff kink"...and an ostrich blowin' a trombone coulda walked through without me noticin'

Me, too, Deanna. Although Amazon does send me corrected books from time to time.
