This news was at first met by much excitement, seeing that 95% of my reading is now done on the ipad, however looking at reviews of the volumes of the Second World War they have already scanned and sampling myself, the volumes are littered with scanning errors which one, makes this occaisionally a chore to read and two, a less professional job that these works deserve. While I understand there is difficulty in scanning a book in what the scanner picks up there should be at least someone proof reading these before they are on sale, and if there are errors after they are put on sale they need to be quickly corrected so an up to date version can be redownloaded. Do we know if there have been any thing put in place to make sure that these new titles that are being published are near as correct as possible? I also assume that we are getting a scan of the four volumn Colledted Essays? Has it been confirmed that the entire Colledted edition will be published? And is there any chance that the collected speeches will also be published digitally -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ChurchillChat" group.
