With e-books becoming more popular it seems that publishers need to get their ducks in a row. I should not have to spend my time editing my e-books that have been paid for. None of us should, yet we are. This is very lame. If the e-book is paid for it is a finished product, and should reflect that in how the e-book looks. There needs to be a set of guidelines or something on how these e-books are put together by the publisher. There are too many differences and mistakes in the books I own. There is no excuse for this.
