I think all they'll be able to do is switch you to the eReader version (Microsoft has shut down LIT), but maybe they can get you a fixed version of it? When I emailed them a few times about a fixed version I never received a reply which unfortunately isn't uncommon with FW support these days.

Failing that I'll sort out fixes for my version myself before I finally get around to reading it again |

I don't know about .lit, but the Mobipocket version at Fictionwise got updated to the fixed version.

EPub Edition MARCH 2009 ISBN: 978-0-061-95287-6 <--fixed That is odd that the ISBN would be different like that. Both are library copies. |

Edited to add: it's not such a big deal, with the DRM stripped. More of a minor pain. |

I have two friends that bought there as well. One downloaded a copy from the library (and used it to replace his purchased copy) and the other is was going to do a manual update (not sure if he did or not).

I see no problem getting a fixed edition from the library to replace the paid for version with all the errors.

Only one of these errors left in my copy

Only issue is the one with "Dúna-dan" still hyphenated. Don't have my DTB version handy to compare if this is just an odd variant of the normally unhyphenated spelling or is an actually error. I'm leaning towards a hard, end-of-line hyphen that hasn't been removed from the formatting. |

I have so painstakingly corrected my version directly in the HTML files from the information in this thread that I dare not update it from any website lest some stuff I have corrected is again wrong.
