The first Amazon review notes problems with special characters/graphics, so this may depend on which reader you use. YMMV

I think that Amazon "always" notes, in small, red print, when an ebook has "quality issues reported." The ebook's webpage doesn't have that notice. So, I'd be inclined to think that the "quality issues" have been corrected. That, and the early reviewers seem to be the ones to make note of that.

I don't know if, when the issues are corrected, Amazon sends buyers a corrected ebook, as they do when ebooks have free updates, et al.

Of much more concern to me is that there are an excessive number of "1" ratings, probably the reason that the overall rating of the ebook falls below 4.0 stars. I'd want to read the reviews to figure out the reason for the excessive number of "1's".
