I wouldn't say, like watching a movie and seeing bloopers. It's like seeing the cords for the mics and the backs of the stage pieces and the camera pulls back so you can see it's all in a studio, not a house. Someone was supposed to deal with those parts before it got released to the public.

I've read at least one ebook that was riddled with punctuation errors and awful formatting that I absolutely loved--but (1) it was free and (2) it was focused on an incredibly tiny niche of potential readers, who will all absolutely not care how badly formatted it is because it's screamingly hilarious--to that tiny niche of people.

It was my wakeup call for how wonderful the proliferation of ebooks and self-publishing is. Because this could *never* be published by a traditional printing company, not even within its niche. And it's going to be one of my long-term favorite re-reads.
