The text reads: "Toolbars are used for headers, footers and utility bars throughout a mobile sites and applications ...".
The text should read "Toolbars ... throughout mobile sites and applications ...", as "a" before plural is ungrammatical.

29% into Kindle version, Persistent footer sample code

The sample code for a persistent footer has a critical typo. When it defines the footer div as:

<div data-role=footer data-id="main" position="fixed">

the last part should be data-position="fixed". The "data-" was left out.

I'm assuming the intent was to show a fixed footer because Figure 3-12 has one.

40% in the Kindle version, code sample for ui-li-aside

In the Amazon / Kindle version. The code sample for the "Aside Content" section has the following:

<li><a href="buy.html">Sandwich</a><span class="ui-li-aside">$3.20</span>
<li><a href="buy.html">Ice cream</a><span class="ui-li-aside">$1.50</span>
</ul>

First: close those <li>... that's minor though.
Second: The span class demonstrating the asides themselves needs to be put inside the <a> </a> in order to not overlap the right arrow. So to appear how it is shown in figure 4-13, you have to relocate it as follows:

<li><a href="buy.html">Sandwich<span class="ui-li-aside">$3.20</span></a></li>

The label for comments at the top in the two mobile screen shots of figure 5-4 should have been "Your comments:" instead of just "Comments:" as per the HTML code above the figure.
