Way to send text comments to author
I use an Amazon Kindle read program on Android tablet.
I read along and occasionally find typos. I keep being told not to report these they the Kindle because authors are punished for them. I have difficult time trying to keep a list of all these, plus pages, etc. It is so frustrating I just give up but that also is no help to the author . Ideally I would love a tool to gather the info I enter in the reader into a text file that I could try to send to the author. Anyone aware of such a tool? Thank you. |

Annotations on an eink Kindle
You can export to Calibre Works better with Kobo. However ebook apps vary. If you are just using audio books then make notes of free Jota text editor. It's a worthy aim. It depends on publisher if it's best to contact publisher (most that also do paper). Mostly only worth contacting the actual author if it's self-published. Amazon doesn't "punish" authors as such. They may block sales if the content has too many typos or other related problems (like unproofed OCR) till the uploader fixes it. IMO if the "book" is poorly proofed or bad OCR you are doing author and public a favour getting it blocked till it's fixed. That's not a punishment. Good luck on trying to contact either authors or publishers. Last edited by Quoth; 11-02-2023 at 09:06 AM. |
