I suppose Penguin would be considered a BPH. If so, I considerer them one of the most egregious in this regard. Whole paragraphs out of order. Hit the convert button and push it out the door. Why worry, there is no refund on an ebook.

Wherever you're buying, you should stop--if you buy at Amazon or Nook, (and I think iBooks and Kobo) there damn sure IS a refund. I certainly wouldn't continue to buy Penguin titles if they are that bad--that's
wholly unacceptable. This is absolutely
not the type of "error" I was talking about--I was discussing the usual typos, etc.; not wholesale
neglect."
@Jellby--that reminds me, pls. look for a PM from me on an unrelated topic, speaking of your mad skills--but I also agree with you that any publisher that does not require (on from PDF or from scan titles) a character-by-character comparison, like we do, is not living up to its responsibilities to its readers.
