I am currently reading Nemesis by Bill Napier. I am thoroughly enjoying it so far.

I have both the pbook and ebook versions.
The ebook is available on Amazon... https://www.amazon.com.au/Nemesis-Bi.../dp/0747259933

The pbook is ISBN 9780747276173

From the very first line in the first chapter it struck me that this was another book with lots of differences. And half way through, I have lost count of the number of differences between the two versions.

In the image is a scan of the first page of the first chapter of my pbook. Compare that to the "Look Inside" preview on Amazon and see the difference in the chapter title.

There are some pretty big changes, including different locations, different results, missing sentences and paragraphs from the ebook version, as well as lots of rewording.

Another example...

From the ebook...
Quote:
>“We have nearly ten thousand strategic nukes. Seven thousand active, and another two on the reserve list.”
From the pbook...
Quote:
>“We have nearly fifteen thousand nukes. Nine thousand active, and another six on the reserve list.”
