chibipoe asked Janny Wurts:

Hi, Janny! Regarding Wars of Light and Shadow and the Kindle editions; Do you know who to refer to regarding the multitude of errors in the kindle editions? I'm engaged in a reread and it's hugely frustrating to see all the things that apparently went wrong in the transfer. Random hyphens, r and n becoming m, missing ' all over the place, formatting errors. :/

Janny Wurts Hi Alan, this is terrible to hear, I'd understood that HarperCollins UK who did the editions was very careful and thorough, and you are the very first reader I've received a complaint from. If you got the actual releases from HarperCollins, and not a bad scan done on the sly from elsewhere, and you would be so kind as to flag those errors, you could direct the request for corrections to HarperCollins Voyager in London. I'd also appreciate a cc of that error list, so I can follow it up from my end, also. (I actually have correcting some formatting errors (mostly capitalizations) on my docket, here, so if your corrections land on the volumes I'm reviewing, I can easily (and gratefully!!) include the corrections. Further: I have the Kindle editions here on my e reader and if you would list the volumes, I can check to see if the errors are concurrent. I care about your reading experience, and the accuracy of the text, very much, so thank you for the heads up. I'd be pleased to work with you further to get the problems corrected.
