Ebooks are like anything else that is bought: you expect them to be of a minimum saleable standard, compared to the rest of the products a seller puts out.

The difference is with a totally amateur seller, where they state that their attempts are possibly not going to be brilliant.

Edited to add: for example, with the Harper Collins edition of the Lord of the Rings (the publishers of a money spinning collection), I'd expect the epub text to be at least as error free as the paper version.
