You're perfectly correct. Some commercial ebooks are very well formatted, and some are just awful - I would be ashamed to let some of the commercial ebooks I have read go out over my signature.
Could you be a bit more specific, though? What was the book? Who was the publisher? The reason I ask is that some time ago I started a Hall of Shame thread in which I reviewed the book and sent a copy of the review to the publisher. Very few replies, and not many people joined in. But I still think we need to actually do something like that rather than just complain on the forums. I don't think publishers will bother to have their books proof read or insist on high quality unless we make them.
