Title: Death by black hole
Author: Neil De Grasse Tyson
ASIN: B000XPPVCY

Issue: First letter of first word of each chapter is a drop-cap in the print version -- a fancy graphic. The electronic version lacks that letter. In other words, in print a chapter starts "The universe.." but electronically: "he universe." A minor issue, but I didn't buy the book after seeing this flaw in the sample.

Steps taken: I may have e-mailed Amazon customer service. I have also whined a lot.

e/t/a Whoops, sorry. Kindle ed. (in case the thread ever moves.)
