I had bought and downloaded both the Hobbit and the 3-in-1 Lord of the Rings trilogy from Barnes and Nobles about 1 month ago. The LOTR trilogy has a publication date of April 2009. Now, I didn't double-check all the typos found in the OP, but I checked 3 and they are not present in my epub version. Maybe there are a few versions of this 3-in-1 between the different vendors.

And yes, I've met people with no surname. I suggested for soothing the bureaucratic beast that they choose a surname that suggests what they do, e.g. Cedric the Entertainer is a valid (and aesthetically pleasing) name. |

No, jgaiser, I haven't got anything "useful" to offer.
It all depends on what is considered useful. I think I'll go and sit in the naughty corner now and let the rest of the kidlets play in the sand pit. |

Yep. Smart A$$ remarks are not useful. Quietly sitting in a corner seems like a good idea.

I note down mistakes because I don't enjoy them. It's easy - you just highlight when you see them. It's a public service, in my opinion. |

I think we shouldn't hesitate to ask for refunds. Tell the publishers we do NOT appreciate this.

Your success depends on the book store you buy from. I asked for the return policy of WH Smith, if there were errors in an ebook bought from them, and was told that ebooks cannot be returned.

Even better, rather than mailing the shop, mail the publisher directly. Last edited by EowynCarter; 04-20-2011 at 09:17 AM. |

You aren't going to get far trying to return a book (e or p) because it has a few typos it in. A small number of errors would not make the book unsaleable.
