Seems like this thread is dead, but here's one:

The Ghost King--R.A. Salvatore.

The chapter numbers and logos (Chapter 1 with some art etc.) are over top of the titles of the chapters (which should be below the logos) so you can read them.

Title: The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie
Author: Alan Bradley
ASIN: B002U3CC92
Issue(s): Huge paragraph spacing, capitalization of words at the beginning of sub-chapter sections is missing, lame plain text cover image.
Steps Taken (if any): added whinning review and custom images at AZ.

see for yourself:

ps: wouldn't it be nice to have a (black)list of all titles with issues be at the beginning of the post?

It might be easier to flag the ebooks that don’t have formatting issues.

It would certainly be a much shorter list, in my experience.

The latest Star Trek Vanguard book Precipice has Star-fleet sprinkled throughout and it is annoying since it's rather noticeable.

Seeing as this is ePub and not AZW, this thread is no longer Kindle specific. Can the thread please be moved?

I found this thread by accident tonight after starting a Hall of Shame thread in the General Discussion forum last night which deals with the same problem of poorly formatted books.

I agree with JSWolf that the thread needs its own forum and should not be Kindle specific, and with Zelda that it would be good to record the data in the Wiki - I'd do it myself if I knew how to.

Regards, Alex

I've noticed that some publishers have more books with formatting issues than others. Is that the general consensus?

I would agree
