Last year, bestselling author, Jonathan Franzen, had the nightmare of his life when over 80,000 copies of his newly-released novel, Freedom, were recalled due to the fact that it was an unfinished version that accidentally went to print.

If you purchased an eBook or a paperback novel and you found a few typos (less than ten out of 70,000 words) would you still inform the author? Some people are fussier than others. What number of typos would be your breaking point?
