I bought a Kindle in 2012 but I think I'm finally done with it. I don't have any problem with the device or the format, I'm just tired of all the typos in ebooks.
Yes, printed books have the occasional typo, but they seem much more prevalent in ebooks. I think there are just a lot of books out there for which the only electronic copy is an optical scan, and as good as OCR is, the process still introduces errors.
I feel ripped off when I come across a typo an ebook that's not in the printed version. It already feels like a stripped down version of the product—I'm only getting the text, not the material assets of a real life book—and now I discover it's an inferior version of the text to boot? No thanks.
