No. If the book gets fixed, you can just download the fixed copy.

Well, this is definitely how it works for the multiformat ebooks. I haven't had to test on a DRMed ebook yet, but since they have to re-encode if you change your PID (for Mobipocket), I'm pretty sure the same applies.

I hope this is fixed by June 13th -- the day I go on a trip to Greece. Long, long flight. I've already loaded some other books, but who knows if I'll want to read LOTR?

I've been reading the series, am about done with Fellowship on my Kindle and have not noted any problems with formatting. I re-downloaded it about three weeks ago.

Buran · 06-04-2009, 06:13 PM

If you have the omnibus, I'll delete and redownload it later tonight.

I got the individual ones, actually.

Buran · 06-04-2009, 06:42 PM

The problems are only reported to be in the omnibus version.

Ah. Guess I lucked out then by not seeing that one as I made my order!

You can still read The Hobbit; it seems to be fine.

And Children of Hurin, I suppose.

No, "The Children of Hurin" is NOT fine. It's so bad, in fact, that I got a refund on it at FW - it's the first book I've ever bought that's been so bad that I've done that

What's wrong with it?

HarryT · 06-05-2009, 09:37 AM

Chunks of text are just plain missing from it. A sentence will suddenly break off in mid-flow, or two sentences will be joined together with the linking text missing. It's awful.

Godzil · 06-07-2009, 12:41 PM

Erf, that suck :/

kevindorsey · 06-08-2009, 06:22 PM

Err, I guess I'm going to wait before bying any LOTR books.

Skydog · 06-10-2009, 07:28 PM

I just noticed the LOTR price has been increased to $15.94. I wonder if this is related to the release of a corrected version or is it simply a price increase?

Hmm.
