It bothers me a little, but never enough to actually do anything about it. *NM* j-whitt987 Send a noteboard - 02/02/2011 01:33:02 AM
Did you receive a response?

Have you wanted to but don't mark where it is and then get too lazy to go back and find it?

How did you figure out who to send the correction/s to?

Don't care? Screw them?

I'm interested in your experiences because as a technical writer I spot mistakes, errors, and so on in books and magazines all the time. But, I have to admit, I don't think I've ever looked up a publisher and sent them corrections. I just tend to get lazy while reading and never mark the passage, word, etc. and then I never go back and find it. I have good intentions though. I am trying with a new book I just started on my Nook. I have already found one misspelling and have "noted" it on the Nook so I can send it and any others I find to the publisher when finished.

What are your experiences?
