Ebooks filled with typos and bad formatting, is it unavoidable?
Hello everyone!
I bought by first ebook only a few days ago.
The ebook in question being Dance with Dragons by GRRM, I was very surprised to see that the quality was terrible: formatting errors, typos all over the place...
I knew that this kind of stuff happened in some French publishing houses with little to no interest in (or respect for) ebooks, but I would never have expected Amazon of all people releasing such a shitty product, and for such a big author.
So tell me, knowledgeable people from MR, does this happen a lot? Has bad formatting and general bad quality already become a tradition in ebooks (cause frankly, when the very first character of the first page has an obvious formatting error, how do you even miss that)?
Or was it just a one-time thing, an unlucky pick for a first buy?
