There is really no excuse for that kind of slop.
That is about the worst one I've heard. I've had books that looked as if the formatting and proofreading was done by a chimpanzee but never one that would not open.

Geee... we should check if our ebook opens on our own ereader? What a weird concept. One local author owns about 10 ereaders which he uses to check how his books look on various devices. His comments about some of the versions of his work have ranged from unprintable on down.
