My problem with ebooks has always been the typos introduced by imperfect OCR.

I look forward to wider availability of graphic novels on color e-ink displays, though.

I'm the same. Unless it's a native epub, where it wasn't converted from print, it's frustrating.

I wish there were some system whereby these typos could be corrected and the results committed to, i.e., a GitHub repo. Does any project like this exist?
