I read the post about the first four reader nominations today:

I find it interesting that the first two are e-book editions of print books and the third is a print book (a print book about publishing, no less). One of the worst examples of e-book editing I read was an e-book edition of a print book. (I'm pretty sure it was another eReads edition.) I reported the errors to FictionWise, but I didn't dare download the corrected version because I didn't want to read that book again.
I posted about the Hall of Shame on another board because I know some people who have strong feelings about editing hang out there. Maybe you'll get some more nominations. Knowing the memnbers, you'll get very detailed examples.
