I wasn't going to post this yesterday since it seemed obvious, but older books or books from indie presses or directly from authors, are more likely to have an out-of-date format or have malformed entities in it. That doesn't mean don't get them. Just have appropriate expectations. Addendum: As others wrote below, even bigger publishers put out poor quality ebooks from time to time. And to extend that: Amazon uses it as an reason to "automatically update" the copy you bought. But they ALSO do it for reasons unrelated to publishing corrections, like re-DRMing ebooks or changing the covers (which annoys me greatly!). I've had artwork covers replaced with photoshop covers, probably because it's cheaper for the publisher. ![]() Last edited by meghane_e; 03-26-2024 at 03:05 PM. Reason: update |

Í've had junk formatting that needed fixing from the Big publishers.
As meghane_e writes, the source is irrelevant. At least ebooks can be fixed. I've bought some paper ones I can hardly read. |

I had one eBook I bought that had some errors in the CSS. I was able to fix the errors. But they should not have needed to be fixed.
