Deliberate Typos in Atlas Shrugged, Kindle Version?


Here is a letter I sent to Plume, the publisher of Atlas Shrugged (Centennial Edition):

Dear Plume Publishing,

I have purchased Atlas Shrugged (Centennial Edition) for my Kindle and there are a lot of suspicious typos.

Every time it should say Wayne-Falkland, the kindle version says "WAy ne-Falkland" (loc 1804, 2283, 2286, 2590, etc). Also, whenever one word ending in "ay" is in front of another word staring with "n," the "a" is incorrectly capitalized, such as "sAy nothing" (loc 2051, 2799, 3855, etc). Both of these mistakes involve the letters of the author's first name and appear to be deliberate. These errors make the publisher, Plume and Penguin, appear to be sabotaging the author while making money off of her work.

Please fix these typos as soon as possible.

Sincerely,
Sean Murphy

I also forwarded my letter to the Ayn Rand Institute and Peikoff.com.
