2.0 out of 5 stars Too many typos, May 18, 2011
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Austin (Fred Rider Cotten Popular History Series) (Kindle Edition)
Seems like it might be an enjoyable book, but you can hardly read it for the typos. The word "the" is spelled "lithe" on the first page and there are two additional words with incorrect embedded hyphens. Clearly, somebody threw the Kindle edition together on the fly and didn't even bother to read the first page.

Amazon: why do you let publishers get away with such lousy Kindle versinos? It's your platform, how about defending your users a little bit, OK?
