When I first got my Kindle I was getting books from a variety of sources and hit some real clunkers. As time passed and Amazon had more inexpensive specials I found fewer problems. I just read a book where "principle" was used for "principal" for 65% of the book and then suddenly corrected itself. I bought an e-edition of an old Chester Himes and it was incredibly bad. I wrote the publisher, got a return email full of excuses that weren't true, and will not be buying from Pegasus Publishing unless I really want the book and read a sample first. The problem was, they scanned with an OCR and did not review as they correct. For example, "the bullet mailed the hat to his head," when it should have been, "the bullet nailed the hat to his head."

But, excluding about 5 clunkers out of 200 books, I've been doing okay.
