One recent Kindle book was clearly poorly proofread OCR from a paper book. It was apparent from the usual typos as 1 in place of l or I etc. Too bad that it was a $10 ebook from a respectable publisher. It also doesn't surprise me that they are making ebooks by scanning the paper format as they probably are so disorganized that no one in the company can find the original digital files anymore. The traditional publishers must be really hating e-books that they are trying to make them looks as little appealing as possible.

The issue with justified text and hyphenation is still there. I personally resent the lack of block center (centered table) attribute is epub or mobi format as it makes poetry formatting look ugly. When I tried to use this attribute in the epub style sheet in Kobo, it didn't simply ignored but rebooted the device.
