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.)

This has been fixed. There is a new version of the book in the Amazon store with a much more readable font, and the errors fixed. Unfortunately, the old version is still there also.
The new version has the title in all caps (that's how I tell the difference, other than the ASIN numbers). I only have the samples at the moment, but will buy the book shortly.

PS. I emailed customer service about the problems when the book first appeared. It took quite a while to get fixed.
