The Kindle version of "A Game Of Thrones" (first book in the series) has "Dome" everywhere instead of "Dorne" (the name of the kingdom in the south). Apparently it was OCR'ed from the printed book.

- userbinator 8y agoThis is one of those cases where applying some kind of additional dictionary algorithms to "autocorrect" OCR (which may have been what actually happened) won't help, since the wrong reading is an actual dictionary word while the correct one is a name.
