I must also respectfully disagree with you, Harry.
What does the fact that ebooks contain so many literals (as evidenced by the plethora of grizzles about them on these forums) tell you?
Do the publishers know or care?
Do they really take notice of the complaints about their books in these pages? And how long does it take (if at all) for the publishers to correct them?
If you take the time to correct the books you've purchased or downloaded for your own satisfaction and then notify others about them on this forum, that's fine. How many of those others do you think will fly straight to their own copies of the book/s in question on their readers and correct them in accord with your findings? That's supposing that they have them in the first place.
The whole point is, surely, that the mistakes are glaringly obvious and they stand out like dogs' whatnames.
They are there for anybody who understands the language to find and the publishers simply don't care what their products look like when they put the books out there.
If they did ...
