I'm sure there are. But the timing of this is, to me, highly suspect.
@JackTorrance: well, the bottom line is that Amazon gets the feedback from the readers. I'll say it right now--most of it is either a) pissy, or b) highly...what's the word I'm reaching for?...smug. That's the word. I would imagine that some folks think of themselves as helping the author...but so far, it most feels like a pissy demand for instant gratification of their self-importance, by forcing an author to "hop to." At least, that's what we've been seeing. Everyone here has heard my story of my Red-Carpet client and the three typos--one of which was a scanning (backlist) error, and the other two--not errors. Brit Spellings. {shrug}.
@Doubleshuff:
Agreed. Excellent question. In goldfish years, it's practically the Walking Dead (book).
@mitford13: well, he's already reported on pretty much everything, including the edits, before this happened, so...don't see him getting much traction from that.
If I didn't reply to anyone, mea culpa. Will try to do so later.
