So why are the errors in the 3-in-1 and not in the 1-in-1?

Earlier in the thread someone said the error had been fixed in the 3 volume edition, but not in the 1 volume edition. The 1 volume edition has just been released with the errors fixed.
As far as I can see, it seems likely that both editions have now been updated with the latest fixes, and distributed. I got mine from Fictionwise, which I was pleasantly surprised about. |

Well I can say that as of last night the eReader version hasn't been updated. I originally bought the LIT version, but when I emailed FW about a download problem instead of contacting Ingram to figure out the error they switched my Tolkien books to eReader (which is as a format sucks IMO).

FWIW department:
I have both the original version of the 3-in-1 and the new, corrected version loaded into Calibre. The original version's mobi file is 2908 kb, the new version (with restored missing content) is 4459 kb. |

So it seems that the updated version arrived sometime after 17 April and before 13th May, and judging from snarkophilus's comment, before, say, 3rd May. So if you haven't got a fresh copy since the start of May, get one now. |

Thanks Pdurrant for your input on errors in the book.
I wonder if there will ever be a fully error free version ? |

With help from Simon, I carefully compared the all-in-one version from Amazon and from Fictionwise. They have identical content.

The current version seems to have fixed all the known outstanding errors. Now that (I hope) they do have it in a proper XML database, the number of errors in editions should decrease with time.

Ok guys, I don't know if this has been mentioned before or if this is an issue we all have but I just found out by chance that at the end of the book, appendix F "THE LANGUAGES AND PEOPLES OF THE THIRD AGE" appears double. In other words at the end of the appendix F, it's the appendix F all over again ...
Should I freak out and throw myself out of my window ? |

If you have the Kindle version, delete your copy and download a fresh copy. If you bought at Fictionwise, which version? I know that the Mobipocket format one has been updated. |
