Meaning no one could buy it. That's what we were talking about earlier in the thread. Single-error books don't deserve to be pulled for content problems because people enter each content error as they encounter them without taking the whole book into consideration first. The ability to report each error "on the fly" as it's encountered is probably one of the worst "features" Amazon has ever implemented within their readers/apps.
Isn't that Amazon's fault? Modify the "feature".

And if it is a single error, the publisher corrects the error and re-submits the book.

Have there been cases of books being pulled for a single error?
