This is why I have been stopping in old/small local book stores for years looking for early editions of many books. You can't edit what is already printed on the page. I am even considering buying multiple editions, building one of those book-scanner-bots then hooking it up to some OCR and doing a diff between the various print versions to show exactly what was changed between editions.

What do you think? Good idea or waste of time?

Kindle sucks. Every update makes it slower and have a worse UI, though the hardware is decent.

I got fed up and got a Kobo. I never update it and get all my books from LibGen or Anna's archive. I haven't bought an ebook in years unless it's like $0.99 and that's only if I really like the author. There's no way in hell I'm spending more on an ebook than a physical copy.
