I have the Kindle version of this book. Throughout the book, images do not scale when viewed in columns on Kindle apps for Mac.

chapter 5
"measurement fallacy", 5th paragraph |
The chapter references "Dan McClure's pirate metrics", this should read "Dave McClure".
ThoughtWorks' Dan McClure is a lovely guy, and has magnificent hair, but Pirate Metrics are traditionally credited to entrepreneur DAVE McClure (who has far less hair, but is still probably a nice guy).
Note from the Author or Editor: OOPs. That is what we get for all working with Dan. I have submitted the correction to the publishers. Thanks for pointing this out.

2nd paragraph? |
Developers showcase software from workstations to business analysts at the end of month-long sprints in order to score their �story points� but no attempt is made to understand if the software will achieved its intended outcomes.
'Will achieved'? Should it be something like 'if the software achieved', no will?

1st paragraph |
"This shift in thinking about software has even lead to some large companies, including GE and GM, pioneers of outsourcing, taking software development back in house.”
Excerpt From: Jez Humble, Barry O’Reilly, and Joanne Molesky. “Lean Enterprise.” iBooks. https://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewBook?id=8F8F52FC304D46361BE2A6A59634B185
The 9th word in the sentence is the incorrect spelling of "lead" — this should be "led".

1st paragraph |
“This approach, intended to drive efficiency and create predictability, has lead instead to increased costs and enormous waste and inefficiency in turning ideas into measurable business outcomes.”
Excerpt From: Jez Humble, Barry O’Reilly, and Joanne Molesky. “Lean Enterprise.” iBooks. https://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewBook?id=8F8F52FC304D46361BE2A6A59634B185
Again, the 11th word should be "led", not "lead".

“Our overriding goals was to keep the book short, concise, and practical.”

The third word should be "goal", not "goals".

End of the first paragraph |
“We could find no other way to cover the ground we had in scope in an actionable way in less than 300 pages.”
Excerpt From: Jez Humble, Barry O’Reilly, and Joanne Molesky. “Lean Enterprise.” iBooks. https://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewBook?id=8F8F52FC304D46361BE2A6A59634B185
Grammatically, this should be "fewer than 300 pages", not "less".

Second full paragraph |
“The conventional wisdom was that executives should achieve this goal through focuing on maximizing shareholder value and compensating the executives with stocks.”

I assume the 12th word should be "focusing" and not "focuing".

2nd paragraph |
Hello! I just downloaded the latest pre-release copy of Lean Enterprise, looking forward to more!
In the 2nd paragraph, "prescriptive" is spelled incorrectly. "an industry standard that is quite PERSCRIPTIVE in how to manage..."
Thanks!

Figure 4-5 attempts to explain what is meant by minimum viable product by comparing two images. Unfortunately, the images are the same.
Note from the Author or Editor: This was a result of information being lost when the image went from color to grayscale for the print edition.
