Perhaps if the question was worded differently.
Would you buy a crappy ebook because it was cheaper?
I have bought paper books because they were nicer, maybe had illustrations, maybe better bound, maybe large print.
The concept about paying more for a better item is not solely related to ebooks although the question in this case is.
I have actually paid more for the same item (ie a glass of the same wine) to enjoy it in nicer surroundings. And I often pay more for an item that I can buy across the street rather than walk 6 blocks to get it.
So while typesetting and OCR other errors do not bother me unduly, if a book was 9.99 for example and a far inferior copy was 1/2 price I would pay the 9.99
I do not look at that as paying more for a better book, but refusing to buy an inferior product based solely on price alone.
Catfood is often as nutritional as salmon, but I pay the extra for the salmon.
