As far as Hyperion and Fall of Hyperion go, I no longer have a list of the errors I found. When I find an error, I highlight it and when I am done reading, I fix them and the highlights go away once the book is deleted from the reader.

Out of curiosity I checked a preview of LOTR at the Kobo website and am appalled to still find errors that we long ago corrected on this thread. It's been a long time and they are still there.
What gives |

Obviously they shouldn't be. If you're seeing unacceptable numbers of errors not present in the paper editions then contact your distributor and return the book. Additionally, write to the publisher and say why you did so. You didn't get what you paid for so don't wait around hoping they will fix it. They're under no obligation to do so. The community should send a message that ebooks riddled with errors aren't acceptable.

I received an e-mail from Amazon a year or so ago saying that they would like to replace the Kindle copy I purchased, with the 50th anniversary edition of LOTR (single volume edition) that has several errors corrected. After replying to the e-mail, they sent the new file to my Kindle.
I checked my copy with the listing in the OP and the listed errors have been corrected. The edition I have is from Harper Collins eBooks. |

UPDATE: I just got a response from Lerer. He got a hold of his publisher... Well, I'll let the man talk. Quote:
The publisher contacted me. Things are progressing super quick. Quote:
