*makes a minor disagreement shrug* I see a lot of books that are issued at the same time in print and electronic editions, and then some of the ebooks go through a "maintenance release" that fixes typos and layout. You can see this happen when you boot iBooks for the first time after a while, and see a downloads-available badge, letting you know that some of your books have updated versions available.
I haven't yet seen an ebook be corrected for major plot screwups, however :) I've gone the self-pub route, and I know I can fix anything that a customer points out. I upload a fixed file to take the place of the existing file; it goes live after Apple/Amazon take a look at it (takes about 24hrs), and then the people who've paid for it get the "download available" badge in the app telling them to download the fixed version, and new buyers will only get the updated version when they buy the book. But, yeah, 100% of the text is the same on first release, after some time they may diverge. rip On Wed, May 27, 2015 at 10:06 PM, Raymond Feist <[email protected]> wrote: > > > On May 27, 2015, at 6:06 PM, Scott Ponton <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > I'm not worried, it was intended more as a sort of sarcastic comment. > People come and go on these lists as interest waxes and wanes, it's the way > of things. > > > > I am surprised at myself for not getting round to reading Faerie Tale > sooner though.
