Since this thread has been revived, I thought it might be worthwhile mentioning that I ended up abandoning the Penguin version. I am now reading Ulysses in the free version available right here on MR. Although the formatting of the Penguin edition is better, it has too many OCR errors.
I would think that when purchasing a book, it would be natural to expect good formatting AND proofreading, but if I have to choose between the two, I'd rather have a book that doesn't look perfect but does NOT have more typos than a reasonably good paper edition.
