I don't know, Jon. I suspect they're in all editions. Most are pretty minor. Some are clearly OCR errors (e.g. tram instead of train), one at least (I know for certain) is carried over from the hardcopy), others probably are too (spelling errors such as principal for principle), and another has HTML or something similar displayed in the text. Quite a few ebooks have bad line spacing; this has already been discussed elsewhere in the forums.
Nothing I've encountered is bad enough to spoil the reading experience or even consider returning it to Amazon. Still, it would be nice to clean up even minor problems when possible. I've encountered Web databases where with cooperative efforts data are collected and corrected. And given Whispernet for the Kindle (and I expect similar features soon on other readers) it'd be nice to make the process as automatic as possible.
