I am just tired of eBooks riddled with typos due to OCR scanning mistakes. Just look at how many complains people posted at Amazon reviews specific to the Kindle version.
Case in point is rn becomes the letter m. So, corner becomes comer.
Another example is ri becomes n, so stories becomes stones. A spell checker won't catch them.
e becomes c or I becomes 1. Sure, you can report the typos but it would take several months to fix them if any.
Stephen King books are notorious for its OCR mistakes and they are not limited to just his older books.
