Thanks, so from that thread it seems there is some interest at least in the idea of sharing ebook corrections, but a bit of a practical problem about how to actually go about it.

That is good to know. It could be this sort of information, about which publishers are willing to make corrections, might be more useful than details of the errors themselves.


I think I will try making a note of all the errors I come across in at least one book by each publisher, then sending them an email, with copies to the retailer and author, and see what their response is.
