Some publishers are worse about this than others.  Packt 
(www.packtpub.com) has some decent material, but absolutely incompetent 
when it comes to formatting python code in a Kindle .mobi file.  I don't 
think I've ever seen *any* errata published for any of their books.  I 
long since decided that anything I see from Packt that I want to read... 
I might find it on Amazon, but I go to Packt's site and purchase the 
PDF.  They have a harder time screwing that up, apparently.

O'Reilly, on the other hand, gets it right.  Period.
