Title: Code Blue by Richard L. Mabry, M.D. (Abingdon Press)
ISBN: 978-1-4267-0236-5
Format: epub
The story begins on Page 9, the pages before this appear to be in good order (copyrights, kudos, acknowledgements). However, once into the story, EVERY page has formatting errors. For the most part is crammed together words and sentences. But there are a lot of hyphens where hyphens don't need to be -- which makes it look like the author is hyphen happy -- and some other odd errors that I wouldn't necessarily call typos. Here are just a few examples:
Page 9: ... fearful thrill of weightlessness.Then the world [weightlessnes. Then the]
Page 10: ... really tried to run her offthe road? [off the]
Page 11: ... could be another explanation. . . . No, she [explanation ... No, she]
Page 49: ... advent of the Wwomen's movement. [women's movement]
Page 94: ... of the paper-work that never [paperwork]
Page 117: he plunged the scalpel into ... her dissection, SCathy wondered [missing "S"; found the missing "S"!] [She plunged ... Cathy wondered]
Page 119: ... had said his good-byes ... [goodbyes]
Page 120: ... almost noseto-nose with Marcus [nose-to-nose]
Page 123: ... red polka-dot tie [polka dot]
Page 133: ... rectangular off- white plastic box [off-white]
Since the margins are flush left and right, it cannot be determined if there are actually extra spaces, except in the instance of hyphens or ellipses.

Michael,
The version of Fluke by Christopher Moore that I bought awhile ago does not have a cover. The ISBN on this one is 0380978415 (at end of ebook).
The new version on the website (0061807680) has a cover.
Is there any way to get the cover to show on mine? I have tried to archive and unarchive but that did not work.
Thanks,
Scott

Title: Island of the Swans by Ciji Ware
ISBN: 9781402246777
The first letter of the first word of every chapter is missing. Also numerous (too numerous to list) words in each chapter have a random space in the middle of the word. Also separate sections of chapters run together with no line space between the sections.

Sorry for the 2nd post - for some reason could not edit the first.
Just found these two today while going through my B&N Library on the Nook.
Title: DarkLands: Homecoming
ISBN: 2940011093968
Problem: Title listed as DarkLands on the Nook
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Title: DarkLands: Beast Wars
ISBN: 2940011112850
Problem: Title listed as DarkLands on the Nook
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Both the above books are titled DarkLands on the Nook - makes it a little difficult to know what you book you want to read without either viewing the coves or opening the book first.
