One other problem is some of the free eBooks. I downloaded Mis_Staked and found major problems with it that should have been sorted well before eBook Week. The Mobipocket edition is not a proper Mobipocket edition. It has no table of contents and there are two cover images. Plus the font is fixed at sans-serif instead of the default so you can change it yourself depending on the reader software.

Also the PDF copy is a major issue. We find out that Adobe Reader has a JavaScript vulnerability and this PDF is full of JavaScript.
