Some readers are such sticklers for accuracy they will stop reading, or even throw a book against the wall, if information isn't presented properly.
And when I say, "throw a book against the wall", I am of course talking about print books. I'm not sure how one expresses disgust with an e-book. I would guess the book would be deleted, but how is the vehemence expressed? Holding the delete key longer than necessary? Scowling while doing so? Making a pretend throwing movement and THEN hitting the delete key?
Reading is obviously a subjective activity, which is why I frequently love a book that everyone else ignores, and why I'm puzzled when everyone loves something I find less interesting than the owners' manual of my curling iron.
So I'm intrigued by what will make a reader respond a certain way when it comes to inaccuracies.
