Neal Stephenson E-Book Yanked From Amazon
Looks like amazon has actually pulled the latest Neal Stephenson book from their store. The rumor is that this is due to horrendous copy editing. It would be nice to see this bring appropriate attention to this widespread problem.

William Morrow/HarperCollins has pulled Neal Stephenson's brand-new book, Reamde, off Amazon after, one would guess, getting tired of hearing about just how many errors there are in the e-book production. (It's not clean.) Now the e-book version is no longer visible at all to U.S. visitors to Amazon, and appears as "unavailable in the U.S." to mobile viewers. (This was first noticed late last night by Macworld editorial director Jason Snell.) Reamde is #36 in books overall on Amazon this morning, so removal of the e-book, even temporarily, is a serious financial choice.
