1. Same as my last comment, no arg in getLines
2. Be consistent with Listing 1.1 and fully qualify package name for Source:
class FileAsIterable {
val src = scala.io.Source.fromFile(new File("someFile.txt"))
def iterator = src.getLines()

1.1.3 Scala as functional language
Mutable versus immutable data
An object is called mutable when you can alter the contents of the object if you have a reference to it.
Whereas in the case of an immutable object, the contents of the object can’t be altered if you have a
reference to it.
The above should be a single sentence, separated by either a comma or a semicolon.
P4
The benefits of not having mutability and side effects in functional programs are the programs are much easier...
Should be:

Need to explain that (_.isUpper) can optionally use parenthesis instead of curly braces because is has only one parameter.

Actually, I think the reason is, as you know, because it is only one expression not because it has one parameter if I am learning correctly.

Meap v6, section 2.2.3, p23 (in the text)
orig: def break = new RuntimeException...
must be
fix: def break = throw new RuntimeException....
(see Listing 2.1 where it is done that way)

v6, p26 section 2.3. Instead of:
"In this example we're adding 3..."
say:
"In the following example we're adding 3..."
This is because I kept looking for :+ in the code above and not in the code below.

method findIndexOf in trait SeqLike is deprecated: Use indexWhere(p) instead. This is RestClient.scala in your git repo.

...result of toArray as a variable-length argument
-- you forgot the "-length", otherwise it is confusing

remove "is":
MongoDB documents are saved in a
collection, and a database is consists of multiple collections.

You state: "One more thing to note here is that we’re invoking the findOne or getCount method on the underlying collection without using the . operator"
Explain why. Something like: "Functions with zero or one arguments can be called without the dot and parentheses. (And remember that if the function is defined without parentheses, then the function must be called without parentheses.)"
Also you then state, "In Scala, you can invoke methods like the infix
operator (+, -, and so on).". Though true, this sentence seems out of place and not related to anything here unless I am missing something. I think this sentence was meant to be put after Listing 3.6 because of the -= and += function defs.

(Sorry, this is not errata per-se. I'm going through my postings and realizing some of them are not errata and will try to put suggestions in another thread.)
It took me a bit to understand what you are referring to here:
"When it comes to overload methods (methods with the same name), you have to specify the return type; otherwise, the code won’t compile. We have a similar limitation for recursive method calls. Scala type inference can’t infer the type of recursive methods or functions."
Recommend instead:
"When it comes to overloaded methods (methods with the same name), you have to specify the return type; otherwise, the code won’t compile. This is why we specify the DBCursor return type for the find function above. We have a similar limitation for recursive method calls. Scala type inference can’t infer the type of recursive methods or functions which is why we need to specify the DBCursor return type for the applyOptions function above."

To make things more clear, change code line from: "trait AngryMood extends DogMood {"
to:
"//WILL NOT COMPILE
trait AngryMood extends DogMood {"
