Yo, my fellow MR'ers:
Granted, my interest in this is hardly unbiased, but:

The tl/dr version is: starting February 3rd, 2016, Amazon will begin showing customers a warning message on the eBooks sales pages, alerting customers that some books have
validated quality issues, specifically spelling and formatting errors.
Amazon has begun emailing publishers, alerting them of the upcoming changes. Books with minor/moderate spelling issues will receive a warning, and the publisher will be able to still sell the book--although whether or not the reading public will buy, given the warning, remains to be seen. Badly formatted books, however, that are considered "unreadable" (standard for that decision unknown) will be removed from sale, until fixed.
Personally, I think that both are long overdue. Yes, there will be some problems with Americans reporting Brit Spellings as "wrong," etc., but that's why this is for "validated" issues.
