Do you correct only some major flaws, like inconsistencies in titles or author's names? (I hated it, when I bought a series of books and even within this series there had been different methodologies for the author's name or numbering the series and such). I used to do this. But now, even in my library of 900 Amazon eBooks I found, it's only cosmetics. I find my books easily enough, no actual need to bother. It's annoying, if you don't find all books in one place, since the author for some books might be sorted "last name, first name", for others "first name + last name" and so on. But is it really a problem?
Or do you actually check the entire book and the content? I can imagine such effort for my 2 or 3 most favorite books. But in general?
Nowadays, I simply want to enjoy the book = consume the content. And not bother in the process. And I really don't care anymore about some typos or inconsistencies. If it's too bothersome, I even can get my money back and buy something else.
But I admit: There was a time, maybe 5 years ago, when tuning my collections was more fun and took more time, than actually making use of it.
