Couple of points:

Authors' proofing. I follow the blogs of a big name, make neough money to live off it professional genre fiction authors. They spend days manually proofing the 'correct' galleys returned to them by the publishers for final checks. It is time they budget in the writing of any book, so many days for the writing, plus so many extra for the proofing afterwards. What's worse is that by the time they get the galleys they are already mid-flow in a different story, and have to break mindsets to focus on the 'old' story properly. Hard work indeed but part of the job. One is now re-editing corrupted files of backcatalog to sell from their own webportal as ebooks.


What should I do when I find an error. Once recent purchased and DRMd ebook, was mostly ok. Until about page 500 where for the next 50 pages wordswerefrequently runaltogether it was really quite extremely annonying. SHould I contact the author, the seller or the publisher? or all of them?
