I think it amazing, really, that folks who never published or proof read an ebook can tell people who do this for a living that they don't known what they are doing and that they need to change their process. What the hell ? Would they tell their doctors or plumbers how to do their work in such preremptory fashion? Doubt it.

One example: A Dance with Dragons. I think I paid USD 16 for it. Certainly a large-volume book, not a minor publisher. And a brand new book, written in 2011. And filled with errors not in the print edition - which is available at the same, if not lower, price.
