not so - lets talk basic distance sellling - you see a book with a pretty cover on a web site - you buy it but it arrives without the cover - you take that up with the retailer, not the manufacturer.

if it were a hardback book, or some other physical object, you expect to receive what you see on the web site.
I bet that if you received a hardback with a missing dust jacket , you'd not be a happy bunny !

you can go to the specific KINDLE EDITION page for that book, & you will be shown a cover image, which you will NOT receive, so you have to hack the DRM, download it yourself, modify the book yourself - sideload it back onto the reader... then finally it looks like it did at the shop... what a farce...

it is the retailer who is posting the misleading images. an honest retailer should at least have a big warning sticker saying this book will be delivered with NO COVER IMAGE.

PS I mentioned the typos because this thread is about valid reasons to de-drm, and that is also one. Amazon, to their credit will refund for a book that is full of annoying typo - been there done that, have the refund - but it needs more people to do that in order for publishers to bother with quality control.. As end-users our only real recourse to publishers is via the retailers & wholesalers who make up the rest of the supply chain.
