Hi everyone.  I found this site by happy accident a few days ago, and I just signed up.  I am a beginner learner of Kanji using Heisig's RtK.  I am very much enjoying the process.

I have the 3rd and 4th editions of RtKv1 and was wondering if there's a list of errata and/or changes made for these editions.  I searched the forum, but the links I found seem to be outdated.  I also did not find anything in the site's Wiki.  Is there a place where I can find a list of these errata/changes?

Also, I was wondering if the publisher of RtKv1 can be persuaded to publish an ebook version of the 5th edition and also of the upcoming 6th edition.  It would be very convenient if they do so.  Has anyone tried to get in touch with the publisher with an ebook request?

Thank you Nagareboshi, those are just what I was looking for.  To clarify, those seem to be the errata for the 3rd and 4th printings of the 4th edition.  I am guessing there aren't too many errors in the 3rd edition.

Oh! I am very sorry! I was not paying attention while browsing the ftp directories on the server. So i was assuming that that were the errata for 3rd and 4th edition respectively. smile

There are errors in the 3rd edition however. Here is the errata for that edition: *click me*

Here is another thing you are going to need once you are past RTK1. This is the new supplement with the newly approved kanji. Just save it for later use, or, in case you are going to buy the 6th edition, you will have them in there anyways. *click me*

Thanks Nagareboshi.  I did see that link you pointed to when I was browsing that site's directories.  I, too, thought it was errata for the 3rd edition, but when I read it, it seemed like it was the errata for volume 3.  Their file naming is a bit confusing, so I'm not surprised that got us confused, not that I'm complaining.

Thanks also for the link to the supplement, I've downloaded it.
