Does amazon fix the kindle book's typos?

Question

Some reviews for books say that there is a lot of typos in the kindle version. So does amazon ever get around to fix the typos? Is there a way to report to fix the book? Would they leave a notice saying the book has been updated for removing the typos?

Answer 1

You can report typos by going to the page of the Kindle book on Amazon. Near the bottom of the page, there's a box that says "Feedback." There's a link there to report typos/poor formatting in the Kindle book. None of my books, that I know of, have been updated, but I've heard of books that have had poor formatting/numerous typos being updated automatically by Amazon.

Answer 2

Amazon don't fix the typos themselves, but they provide a mechanism for the publisher to distribute a revised version of the book. If the publisher decided to fix the typos, they upload the new version, and Amazon then email everybody who's bought the book, offering them a free update to the new version.



This happened with a book that I bought. My "to be read" list is quite long, and the publisher updated this book before I'd got around to reading the original version.

Answer 3

In addition to the answer above - I've had at least two books that were fixed due to typos and other problems. In both cases I received an email letting me know that a newer version was available. I responded to the email to let them know I wanted it, and the next time I turned my Kindle on the older version was replaced. It's a fairly quick and easy process.

Answer 4

in case you delight in books as much as I do, i think of books, actual surely books, provides you with the main delight. The Kindle sounds great, yet why purchase each and each e book you examine (virtural e book, I mean) once you are able to bypass to a library and not pay a cent? until you're no longer solid approximately returning books).
