I'd always want to know what changed, but the information wasn't easily discovered. I remember, back in the old days of 2010, when the Android Market would inform me that a new version of an app was available. And as a digitally published writer who's produced too many typos over the years, I'm grateful for the opportunity to fix the text after hitting the "publish" button.īut what Amazon needs to do is provide a mechanism to describe the update. Honestly, I don't think Amazon deserves to be castigated here-the publishing industry is still adjusting to the idea of e-books, after all.

Do I begin again at the beginning? Do I plow on? Either way, the reading experience is fatally tainted."
Now-without more-I'm told that what I've read is incomplete. I've invested many hours in the book, overlooking various format errors along the way. "After reading over 500 pages of this great book, Amazon tells me there was 'missing content.' After a live chat and talking to 2 support people, they won't tell me what was missing, how much, what type of content, or why," seethed reader cdale77.Īnd Cynthia Ewer vented, "As of this morning, I'm about 40 percent through the book-and I just received a notice that my Kindle edition was 'missing content,' and would be replaced.It seriously damages the reading experience.
