Also I am a fine-art photographer; the quality of photography has dropped considerably in the past 10 years. New photographers don't seem to feel that learning the craft is important. You have to become a craftman first to allow your vision to grow. A quote by Ansel Adams: There is nothing worse than a sharp image of a fuzzy concept. |

Anyway, accusations of laziness aren't dealing with the problem, that is, assigning responsibility to the proper organizations to do their due diligence. The best way to do that is to make it clear you will not buy from them unless they do their jobs properly. That means boycotting publishers, not Sony or Amazon. |

I complained to Ballantine about some issues I had with an ebook I purchased from them and received a rather snotty e-mail in return saying essentially, "It's not our fault, we outsource ebooks and it's their fault." But--don't you pay them to do it? Can't you pass on the complaint to them? Aren't you upset that this contractor is messing up your house's good name? Apparently not. I don't understand that attitude at all.

And tell them that includes printed books... that will probably get their attention faster. |

What happened to the amazon kindle discussion forum?
I am sure I was still reading Amazon's discussion forum for the Kindle in the last week ? Does anyone know what happened to it ? On another note about the Kindle, I just ordered the Kindle 2 --have had the first Kindle for about a year-- I read that the Kindle 2 is being supplied by an expanded whispernet...but it does not apply to the Kindle 1. Why wouldn't it be available for the Kindle 1...I have never had great luck with the whispernet for my Kindle 1....if I wanted to use Whispernet I couldn't get reception for it from my home and many other places. So why not let the Kindle 1 users have the expanded coverage. ? Anyone know about these 2 issues?

I agree with Steve Jordan's post when he said that "They're just the retailers... that's not their job"! I believe that it is the publisher or editor job if it is a paper.

That's not really a big deal though, RevA is a little faster than Rev0, but not significantly so, and the coverage is the same. |

One reason why PG have 3 proof-reading rounds at picking up errors. Even then some get passed the 3rd check, despite due care and attention ....
