If I were going to start listing errors, I would start by downloading my own books and list the errors in them. That is why I am presently reviewing my books. Hopefully, the revisions that I upload will have less errors. I would point out that it is much easier to fix errors in my book that can be downloaded from Feedbooks versus those that can be downloaded from Smashwords or Amazon.
I wonder sometimes. Do people download my books and fix the errors? Do they change the sentence structures? Do they change the wording or change particular words that they don't like? Perhaps someone has actually gone to the trouble to change the ending. Inquiring mine's want to know.

The more pertinent question would be how many people gave up on it at the sample stage because of the number of mistakes. Maybe everyone is so used to all the errors in ebooks and paperbacks these days that they don't notice them? I don't know, but if I ever read one that doesn't have any I'll be talking about it for months, even if it's a crap book.
