So yesterday, I bought a copy of Breakfast at Tiffany’s on apple books to read at work on my lunch break. It was okay, but when I went to find the page count to record it in my reading journal, I noticed that the text is completely different from my penguin classics edition. The Apple Books version is shortened, and is just a crappy abridgement of the original. Now I’m pissed off, because I paid for the digital version and it didn’t say anywhere that it wasn’t the original text. It even used the penguin paperback edition cover art! Is there any way to report this kind of stuff?
And take it from the “author”
Found this out from an author who had people buy her digital book on Amazon, reading it, apparently loving it, leaving a positive review, and returning it - it ended up costing more than you’d think if there are any fees
First, Truman Capote is dead. Second, even if he had been alive, he wouldn’t have submitted a butchered version of his own work just to fool people.
