How the hell is book design not standardized yet? Books have been written for thousands of years and yet I still find misprints, poor material and shit directories in books. Should we go back to scrolls?

People fuck the dog now, just like they did in Ancient Babylon, Athens, and Atlantis - just like they will in the crystal-spired Martian colonies of 4000 AD.

You can't remove errors from us, it's just our flawed nature. If we were perfect we would be gods.

So put that in your pipe and smoke it.

e-readers are the worst culprits. I find far more typos and misprints in ebooks than in print.

Hell, I was reading a novel recently (ebook) that was missing entire paragraphs.

Contacted Amazon, who told me to contact the publisher. The publisher's response was basically, "sucks to be you".
