No, although I've been tempted *NM* Stephen Send a noteboard - 01/02/2011 05:09:35 PM
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? :P

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?
