Disgusted with quality
It has been a very long time since I last posted on this site since the focus has moved to dedicated ebook readers and I am still a PDA-based reader using eReader and Mobipocket.
Tonight I felt I needed to put in my two cents worth on the quality of these ebooks. In one word I have to say the quality is TERRIBLE. I saw literally hundreds of typos in just the first few pages of each of the books I purchased in eReader format. I got The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and the Children of Hurin. Most of the typos are the clear result of poorly proofed optical scans of the books. The result is words that have been run together on virtually every page. I find that there are SO many errors that it interferes with my reading enjoyment, making the books unreadable. I expect more from companies like Harper Collins and I am sorry I bought them from Fictionwise, which won't refund my money.
