Well I messed up my short story collection badly, and so far have not been able to get a hold of Amazon Kindle to see if I could fix it.
I could go down in infamy as the author who couldn't remember HOW MANY LETTERS THERE WERE IN THE ALPHABET.
I mean seriously, I am a super reader, and I got that wrong?
yeesh ....

And here I thought
The Canadian alphabet had a special letter we folks in the US aren't privy to.
You can fix the mistake yourself. Just go back in and correct the cover and your Blurb You don't need to contact Amazon it's all under your control.

You can fix it...but...
You and I are old enough to remember the 27th letter of the alphabet...ampersand! & Sure the heck had to learn how to draw it in penmanship class. :)
How's the book selling? I think we could have given you a leg up with DopplerPress but everything is a learning process.

Twenty seven letters in alphabet?
Ampersand was considered a letter? You learned this in school? Why were you taught the number of letters? Was that more important than learning the alphabet? I'm dying of curiosity, what was the purpose? You write a letter and then go back and count the letters to make sure you included them all?
I read where cursive is no longer taught in school. A few more years us "old people" can write a letter by hand and no one will be able to read it. Better than secret code. The truth, my handwriting is already code. I can't read the chicken scratches five seconds after I wrote it. A lady at the quick stop asked me to write out directions for her. I did.
"You have the most beautiful handwriting I've ever seen."
I figured she was legally blind. Should have put those directions in braille?
No one can take life seriously with all those little quirks coming along every now and then. God has to have a sense of humor. He made me. If He doesn't I'm in serious doo doo.

Ha-ha, the Ampersand
That was the first thing to get blue penned when I started doing technical documentation. No, no and thrice no, thou shalt not use "&" characters.
Some of my writings do have them but now I make an effort to not to use them.
So, Erin, don't tell me, Amazon is not Unicode complaint then? Is it UTF-8 even?
{Back in the distant past, I helped to draft a standard the was a precursor to the ISO-8859-x character sets. This all provided the groundwork for UTF and Unicode standards. All very boring but for computer nerds it is grist to the mill. I even wrote some microcode for a popular range of dumb terminals to allow them to support non US-Ascii languages}

It's easy to never make a mistake . . . simply do nothing. If you're out there, mistakes happen. Congratulations on putting your work up for sale.
