There's community of Russian-speaking users who fix the books formatting/OCR errors. This kind of crowdsourcing works well for improving quality of e-books - "given enough eyeballs all bugs are shallow".

I don't think anything like is possible with proprietary books, unless there are regulations, boycott of publishers or something else which makes copyright owners/distributors lose money.
