You are so full of it. You obviously have never read on a Sony 505.

I have bought sf/f books from waterstones [or was it the other brit store? whichever one would sell regardless of geo-restrict until several months ago] and I gave up.
The "Malazan Book of the Fallen" series by Steven Erickson. Your vaunted "retail" version had over 125 errors. I know, because I counted them, noted them and then wrote back to the store demanding better copies.
Then I went to the "devil" site and found lovingly crafted books, by fans, that were completely error free.

Saying it is "retail" means jack. You'd know that if you bought a wide variety of ebooks on a regular basis.

As I said before, you obviously have NO experience with retail ebooks, NOT PAPER BOOKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please do more buying so you know what you are talking about.

ps. after reading my post, I realized I came across as an angry old man. I'm not. Just annoyed that you are spouting such statements with no experience or knowledge to back them up.
