I know that some here will scream that they are not paying to be proofreaders, but helping out the next person who comes along is a charitable act. . . .

I love this idea. Even for books that are well edited, sometimes things slip through. Would be nice to have a standardized process to follow to get them fixed.
I can picture there being certain problems, though. I remember reading somewhere about a British author's frustration with Americans complaining about her "constant misspellings". If the interns turned out to be as ignorant of spelling differences as that author's critics, the book "corrections" could easily turn the ebook into a total mess!
