Got the next revision to one of O'Reilly's technical books by doing that
There's quite a few people that do this, I sent an email to Amazon asking about automating this process, with prerelease books sent to kindles as a reward for finding typos. Sounds like a fun game to me. One day we'll get there, not sure if Amazon will be taking us though.
