Your idea is sensible. Have you proposed it to the big name publishers?

I just finished reading a free book from Barnes & Noble... at the tail end of the book, all dialog was without quotation marks... though all was fine at the front of the book.
In another instance, I read a free book where things were fine in the first half of the book, but by the last half, every instance where the word "that" should have appeared, the word "mat" appeared instead. Annoying.
So yeah, stuff like this is happening. I'll probably write the publishers at some point. I'd be more tweaked if I'd paid for the books. I have mentioned the issues in reviews though, so others are warned.
