I think the publisher/author's answer to that should be better formatting.

I haven't bought many books where there were so many problems I stopped reading. I think that happened once 2 or 3 years ago but I'm not sure now. If it did happen I probably would have wanted to warn others and would have left comments about it in the books review. And hopefully that would actually reduce the book's sales.

I do find more errors in Kindle books than I like but not so many that I stop reading. That alone isn't enough to push me into writing a review. I mostly just write an occasional review when a book excites me for some reason. I use the Kindle's error reporting feature to report errors when I find them. Hopefully the publisher fixes them but I've already read the book so I probably will never know.
