seems to have been UNedited for the ebook version. i own a bunch of books in paper format that have been pretty well edited and proofread, yet the ebook versions are horrible - packed with typos, odd punctuation and other issues.

the funny thing is that one of the reasons that publishers claim ebooks cost the same as pbooks are editing and proofreading. i don't understand why they'd redo something that was already done, and that was done so much better.
