An ebook is a separate edition of the book just the way hardcover, trade paperback, and mass market paperbacks are different. Usually, the text is the same, but often there are fixes (typos in the original being fixed, ...), additions, and omissions that leave the various editions, including the ebook edition, slightly different. Even with the same type of edition, differences can be introduced in subsequent printings.
With ebook versions of current printings, it is likely that the ebook's datafile forked from the pbook version that it was derived from before the last proofreading pass done on the pbook. This can result in the pbook being fixed and the fixes not being migrated to the ebook.
