I can&#8217;t tell you how many times I&#8217;ve been reading an ebook, only to find that there is a page missing, a duplicate page, bad formatting, duplicate paragraphs, or other obvious errors. This begs the question: Where is ebook quality control? [...]

The library program is available to Amazon Prime members, who pay $79 per year for membership.
