If you "proofread" the ebooks, spot the many literals contained therein and then correct them to your heart's content, in many cases it would be like pissing in your wetsuit: it gives you a nice, warm feeling inside; it makes you feel good while you're doing it; it gives you a great sense of relief; nobody else is likely to see you do it; and, best of all, you're the only one who knows you're doing it.

I'd just prefer an ebook I purchase to be error free, if I'm being honest. Kinda like the paper books I buy.
