John Milner Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I am considering purchasing A Game of Thrones for Kindle, but from looking at the reviews for the Kindle edition, it would seem that there are quite a number of errors (typos, missing words, added words, odd symbols, odd punctuation, etc.). Does anyone have the Kindle Edition of this book & can you tell me how extensive the errors are? I looked at the sample & saw a few things that might be errors, but having never erad the book before, I do not know if they are really errors or not.

Juli Greyjoy Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I have the five book bundle for Kindle. I only read AGoT on it so far. I noticed that there are some question marks where there shouldn't be any and one typo in the prologue of ACoK where 'Selyse' is spelled like 'Selsye'. Didn't see any missing/additional words until now.But honestly, it doesn't bother me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ser Troye of the Sands Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I have the five book bundle for Kindle. I only read AGoT on it so far. I noticed that there are some question marks where there shouldn't be any and one typo in the prologue of ACoK where 'Selyse' is spelled like 'Selsye'. Didn't see any missing/additional words until now.But honestly, it doesn't bother me...I believe the Selyse/Selsye error is not unique to the electronic editions. I am pretty sure I have seen that typo in my print editions. Any way, I have to say like I always say to people, "You cannot beat a physical book. So, book e-books!" hahah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Milner Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 I bought Game of Thrones & Clash of Kings. In the appendix of Game of Thrones, I think there were some line-spacing errors. ie. the end of a sentence (a few words, etc.) was put on a second/third line when it would fit on the line above it.

Arya Ready? Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I bought all the books in the Kindle edition a few weeks ago & noticed only one typo in all of them. And I work as a proofreader and editor. I imagine they rushed them into the Kindle format without sufficient editing but in the years since have cleaned them up nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
