True enough HarryT. In the old days of paper only if there was an error in a book it wasn't the fault of the book seller but of the publishing house that didn't catch the error til after the books had shipped. I remember seeing a book of The Secret Garden once that had pages from one of the Sherlock Holmes novels mixed in. It wasn't the fault of the book seller. It was an error from the printers. Likewise if I buy something at the store that turns out to be defective it's not Wal-Marts fault, but the fault of the manufacturer. Of course it isn't so easy to say the maker of an appliance is sloppy as it is with a poorly made ebook like the one in my OP. When I get the wideside freebees I often open the epub up in Sigil and make my own toc so I know that it will work right and be easily readable. Generally I don't have to do much but I do sort links out for my own tastes.
