Title: The proof reading of the Kindle edition is abysmal
Product review: I won't review the book itself, as it has been generously covered by others. But in reading the Kindle edition, I have to ask if they even bothered to proofread it.Obviously hardcopy pages were scanned and OCR'd but it is rife with errors: Proper names appearing incorrectly and/or inconsistently ("Gait House"?), what appear to be some dropped lines or partial lines, incorrect "correction" of deliberately misspelled words (e.g., Forrest's "skeer" turned to "sheer"). And then there's the place where they appear to have scanned in the wrong page or two, replacing the text for half of one scene with duplicated passages from several scenes earlier. Just brainless error and no quality control.Should I quote my proofreading rates to the publisher? Apparently they don't have anyone in-house doing it.The rating is for the quality of the Kindle edition, not the book itself.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
