It really soured me on Google's bookstore. I can't see buying from them again.

I bought the Harry Dresden short story collection titled "Side Jobs" from them
as an .acsm (ADE link to the .epub) which Google describes as an EPUB.
It turned out ok, but as it stands now I will only consider Google as a last
resort for a really hard to find ebook.
If any other distributor had products that demonstrated such poor quality
control, they would not survive very long. They will never be considered
the the "Newegg" of ebook retailing, not if they have results as reflected
in this thread.
