Having read my own e-copy already, the formatting errors are relatively minor (wordsquish rather than 7yp0-ridd1ed) but still moderately annoying and I'll be contacting Amazon with a list of them so they can get fixed.

For sf/mystery lovers the sale has also got some Lawrence Block and Alan Dean Foster for $1.99 or less, classic David Gerrold and Richard Matheson award-winners for $2.99, and for regular science lovers, one of James Gleick's books for about $2.99.
Oh good! I saw this one on there (the Hambly book) and wondered about it, so I think I'll go back and put it on the wishlist. I downloaded a bunch of sample chapters of things I was interested in, and then I'll decide which I want after looking at all of those. I was glad to see the sale will be on for a bit so I have time to decide.

AND....I just ordered my Kindle too, so I'm really excited!
