I just finished a multiformat read at Fictionwise that was terrible. It was called 'Permed to Death' and was about murder in a hair salon. The heroine was spunky, if a little stupid, and I would have enjoyed it except that it was riddled with typographical and editing mistakes (e.g. random dashes in the middle of sentences; the word 'die' where 'the' was intended, in at least five places; 'Marla' being written as 'Maria' etc). And furthermore, the ending was extremely sloppy, with a main character all of a sudden 'realizing' who the killer was, a few pages before the ending. This was one of the costlier multiformat books they have (although of course I got it on sale) and no WAY is it worth what they are charging. I have already emailed customer support about the numerous and obvious editing mistakes. I am hoping they'll issue me a refund. This book was of a completely unacceptable level of quality, especially given the high-ish sticker price.
