I'm reading the US edition as well, and while I haven't noticed typos, per se, I'm having a tough time following the dialogue. It's rather common for diaoluge to go like this:

[Person A]"I have something interesting to say!" [Person B]"Ah, but you didn't let me tell you about the 21 course meal I just ate along with all the delicious spices!" [Person A]"Huh?"

Notice how there's no paragraph break between A & B. It makes it rather difficult to follow some conversations, which means I have to go back and re-read these parts.

There's no excuse for this other than laziness, as I'm sure GRRM had it properly formatted on the Word document he submitted to his publisher.
