I found the badly formatted table someone mentioned. That bit is very poor and shows a definite lack of proof reading the finished product.

I'm still not seeing masses of other problems though. Is there a chance the US got a different ebook version to the UK?

I felt the price was very reasonable in the UK for this one. £8.54. That's what? approaching 14 dollars? Brand new book. 1042 pages. I don't feel ripped off. It's certainly more convenient than the hardcover. If it's anything like a paper copy of Anathem I'd have no chance at sticking it in my bag for the trip to work

Just checked Waterstones. A paper copy if over £12 and they don't even have the ebook edition listed.
