Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

First, I liked the story. There are plenty of other reviews here, I won't add to them. My pleasure in reading the Kindle edition, however, was ruined by an appalling lack of proofreading. Almost every "ru" was interpreted as an "m", for example. Clearly the Kindle edition was not typeset from the original electronic text, but derived from optical character recognition from a printed page. The publishers could have had a proofreader go through the book after this, but they didn't. They didn't even run it through spellcheck. No, they just went ahead and charged me $5.99 for it. I'd like to buy the next book in the series, but I won't. This publisher doesn't deserve my money. Maybe I'll borrow it from a friend or from a library. Amazon -- please require at least some minimal standard of proofreading for Kindle books. You owe it to your Kindle owners. UPDATE -- just received this from Amazon: We're writing about your recent Kindle purchase of Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. The version you received contained some errors that have been corrected. An updated version of Ender's Game is now available. It's important to note that when we send you the updated version, you will lose any highlights, your last page read, and bookmarks made in your current version and the locations of any notes may not match the updated copy of the book. .... so, for those of you who care about typos, it's possible you can now buy this book. At least someone noticed the problem and tried to fix it. When/if I read the corrected version (won't be for a while) I'll edit this review again. UPDATE 2: Have now read parts of the updated version and it's definitely better! I don't guarantee that there are no typos, but I didn't find any in a quick look -- which since the older version had multiple typos on every "page" suggests that there has been a serious effort to address the problem. @Bookworm -- Thanks, I did also submit feedback at the time. This review was to warn Kindle owners of the problem before they made the mistake of buying it. @thirtyeyes -- What C.J. Schmidt said.
