The Kindle Bookstore sorely needs an "update my library" and "report formatting problem" feature. The latter to make it easier for those of us who purchased the books to report a problem with them -- after all, if you bought a hardcopy book and it had similar formatting issues, you could return it for a "right" copy.

The former -- "update my library" -- to allow us to get corrected copies of any books whose formatting has been corrected. It's akin to the the Apple iPhone App Store; when a new version of some piece of software on my phone is available, a little red logo appears on the software. Amazon tracks my purchases ad infinitum, it would be a small matter to let me know that a corrected version of the book is available.

This is my first real frustration with my Kindle. Have absolutely loved it since my purchase last summer; however, the frequency of these formatting problems seems to be increasing -- it's as if no one at the publishing companies bothers to review their Kindle editions before publishing them.
