The saddest part is how a lot of technical work goes to waste, because Packt won't give authors even the bare minimum technical review and copy-editing support.

I started reading "Mastering Linux Device Driver Development" a while ago but I found it to be almost unreadable, and I gave up after a couple of chapters. On top of the at times incomprehensible grammar, I found a few too many errata in the form of "can" vs "cannot", "only by" instead of "by only", etc... that change the meaning of the text significantly. It was too much work to pause every time I found the text confusing, to figure out what the author really meant.
