LoE is canon, I don't know why you would consider it otherwise just because of what, three discrepancies between the book itself and the cartoon? Leland Chan (lol!) states that they should be "enjoyed for what they are", and uses both sources as a timeline for the EU leading into Revenge of the Sith.
And contradictions between things that are C-canon are dealt with case-by-case (as are all conflicts, save for those presented from N-canon sources), just because it has differences doesn't mean the other is overall not considered to fit into continuity.

LoE is, as far as I am aware of, canon. And, yes, he did put up a decent fight against Mace, I suppose. However, this was due to his ability to somewhat analyze Vaapad. The fight was brief, though. Mace outmaneuvered Grievous, and Grievous fell off the mag-lev.
It can't be canon, it is almost impossible, it said that Anakin had been away from Corouscant (and Padme) for over a year (if not longer, I don't recall). And if that were the case, then uh...how exactly did Padme get pregnant? You would think Anakin would be wondering why she was pregnant when he hasn't seen her for so long...

Maybe Anakin used the Force or something. I dunno.

No, LoE is definitely canon. Contradictions between C-level material, whether minor or major, don't matter in regards to the overall continuity of the book. Even if that is a contradiction, I'm not going to look into it, but Leland Chee has made clear LoE is canon.
People need to realize contradictions are dealt with case-by-case, that is the way they resolve them, and it is always in effect. Look at Splinter of the Mind's Eye, that contradicts the movies and several books, but, overall it is still canon.

Even if something C-level contradicts the movies or Lucas' word, it still going to be canon since they deal with things problem by problem.

I'm almost positive it said 3 years straight.
Check my very cool thread on it 😛

i dont see how grevious can ever defeat someone like windu less windu was not going at it all the way, that means that grevious should have definatly not lost to someone like obi wan, but yeah grevious usually defeats normal jedi even masters, like i said in another threat most jedi under kit fisto, obi wan, anakin, yoda, mace, sidious, they all seem to be......just not that great, the big headed guy, and shaak ti are both jedi masters but grevios owned shaak ti almost effortlessly and seemed as though he was about to defeat the big headed guy, then he did defeat the other three or four jedi, but the big headed guy said they was tired, but shaak ti could not have been tired the second time they met and he still owned her, he had some trouble with her friends though, but that was untill he got his other two arms out then he owned them.
