I've purchased several pretty bad ebooks. The one that has annoyed the most is Ian Stewart's Why Beauty is Truth - A History of Symmetry which is published by the Perseus Book Group and which I bought from Sony six months ago. Below is a screen capture of one page. I was so annoyed that I have yet to make it through the Preface. No, I haven't complained, yet (my bad). I did enjoy another ebook by Stewart and I posted at Sony a review which is quite favorable towards the work by Stewart but somewhat unfavorable regarding the ebook formatting (it had several minor problems which I thought I would warn potential buyers of and thought Sony and/or Perseus would take note, too). Sony apparently didn't like my negative comments so they only posted the positive portion of my review. Naturally, I was outraged and told them to post the entire unedited review or nothing and they chose the latter. Long story short: that's probably not the best way to report problems with ebook formatting, etc.
