I am pleased that someone else has noticed this. I recently purchased a copy of the Neal Stephenson book "Cryptonomicon" and it's full of errors where a word was hyphenated in the original text, but the digital text has replaced the hyphen with a space. You get words like "Pat tern"; I'm shocked at how little they bothered to proof read the digital versions before they sent it out. I'm inclined to ask for a refund.
