I've recently purchased the e-books (for my Kobo) for Ender's Game and Speaker. The both have a lot of errors in them. In fact I'm almost done Speaker, and the last chapter I just read is full of errors. Not bad enough that I can't read it, but I'm wondering about it.
I did see something where this problem was acknowledged (I believe last year), but does anyone know what I can do about it?

Use Calibre? Really? It will automatically detect all of the m's that should be "ru" and change them back?

No, but you can convert it to a text file and open it in a word processing program. If there is a common error you should be able to fix it quickly.

I appreciate the suggestion, but that's not going to work. If you consider the one example problem I mentioned above, I would have to go through the entire book page-by-page and fix it. There's no way to tell a word-processor which m's should really be ru's.
It's too bad the quality is so poor. If I had known up front, I wouldn't have paid for the e-books.
