Possible issue with Kindle formatting on US edition of Eversion.

 I've seen a note on Amazon.com from a Mr Zimmerman stating that there appears to be a formatting issue with dialogue quotes in the US Kindle edition of Eversion. I'm not in a position to replicate the fault myself, but I've raised it with my US publishing team so hopefully there will be a resolution. If anyone else has seen the error, it might be worth mentioning it here. Thanks.

Dominic Audy Does the issue in question involves missing opening quote marks for some dialogue, mostly (or perhaps only) at the start of lines? I've noticed this in my copy. It's recurrent through the book, but not systematic. A random specific example from the page I'm currently on: ch 20, the line

Of course, Silas."
I was just about to step into the vac-lift

This is in the Kobo (epub), not the Kindle format, and I think the publisher is the US one here too, but I'm in Canada.

It's noticeable, but not really distracting. I'm in chapter 20 and having way too much fun with the story to be bothered by a minor formatting issue.

Jody I've noticed the "missing opening quote marks" as well.

Not an issue.

Delighted with the period language and near-eldritch quality of description!

Sam My Kindle copy had the missing quotes, as well. A bit annoying but not enough to stop me enjoying the book. I will be reading it again soon.
Was the educator machine a portable version of the one in Forbidden Planet?
