Ok, I just purchased an epub copy of Seth Lerer's Inventing English for class, and unfortunately, it was absolutely useless. The book makes extensive use of having scans of classic documents, and then goes over the language structure of the writing. However, if you get the ePub, all of those scans and quotations are removed and replaced with the line that has "Copyrighted image removed by Publisher". I found this out, because I purchased this right before class, and we were supposed to read from Hart's An Orthography during class. I pull up my nice shiny new copy, and as we are supposed to read out loud I see, I stand out because I am unable to read. Like I said, the entire book is structured around those quotations, so it is extremely difficult to understand what the author is going on about when you cannot see what he is referencing. This is pretty much the same as the art book without any images, only it singles out ebook users.

I've wrote an email to the publisher, hopefully I will hear back from them.
