I'd like to start by saying that I have been a Larry Niven fan since my grade school days. He is one of my favorite authors, which is saying a lot as I am an avid reader of multiple genres. I read "Patchwork Girl" in Junior High and looked for a Gil Hamilton collection (and anything by Larry Niven) as soon as I got my nook. However, I am terribly disappointed with this eBook version. It is filled with typos and misspellings, nearly every page has 2 or 3 errors minimum. There is a huge hole in the center of the book, where pages 192-236 are missing. This makes the ending of "Patchwork Girl" a mystery unless you are lucky enough the have a hard copy as I do. Reading through the typos was difficult at times but usually you can make a good guess as to the altered word from the context. I'm guessing that some scanning device was used to convert the text, and no one bothered to check the sausage coming out the other end. I am hoping that I don't waste my money on other books with this level of quality.
The actual stories told in this collection are very clever and relatively short, making this an excellent book for travel reading. As I said I am a big fan of Larry Niven and am sad to see such a horrible conversion effort.
