About $340 for the full set of eBooks.

Also: "Please do not tell me about errors that you find in an eBook, whether it's PDF or not, unless the same errors are present in a printed copy; such mistakes should be reported directly to the publisher."

Glad he thought to mention this, but I suspect his inbox will still be inundated.

He doesn't have an inbox:

E-mails which are sent in about the various books used to be printed out and responded to --- I got a $2.88 physical reward check for finding an error and a point of improvement in _Digital Typography_. Not sure how they are handled now. Trying to find an error or point of improvement in v4f7 so that I can get an account at:

(usually, I do find errors in books, esp. e-books, which reminds me, I need to pick up the corrected 3rd printing of _The Fall of Arthur_ by J.R.R. Tolkien before I read it again, since that should have the error I found corrected).

Yes, that article has an email for TAOCP corrections, that are processed by his secretary.

Inboxes don’t have to be digital. Inboxes, digital or physical, can be handled by other people.

In any case, someone beyond the publisher will still get inundated with corrections about the PDFs and likely will demand their reward for it.
