So far, the best luck I've had with complaints has been directly to the author when the author is accessible. Though one ebook I purchased from Amazon several years back is still getting reviews commenting on the number of misspellings, homonym misuse, etc. I've never bothered to read another book from that author -- when you can't keep your alien race names consistent from chapter to chapter, why would anyone waste their time to try to read your book?

As for use of Vellum, I find it more in my XYL's ebooks than in the ebooks I read.
