I did. First in the look inside. Other than the cover looking like a bad scan it looked fine. Maybe the sample is different? So check out the sample on Kindle app - still looks good. Have not seen any OCR mistakes. The only thing I seen is formatting a little simple, but still consistant. No real em-dashes, but double dashes instead. Simple quotation marks ("this" instead of “the nice ones”). Hyphens? Yeah I seen hyphens, but those were chosen to be there (e.g. in close-up). Again consistant as "close-up" was mentioned multiple times always spelled the same.
So what exactly is horrible about the sample other than subject and topic? (I even used your link).
ETA: I only read to about 8% of the sample, then I could not handle the mid-life crisis sex topic any more. Maybe all the bad mess happens afterwards?
