The modern PG texts are pretty good. The problem exists mainly with the older ones, which pre-date scanners, and were typed in by hand. Unfortunately this includes many of the most popular classics, which were obviously the books that people did first.
Eg, I'm currently reading my version of "Oliver Twist", which comes from the (very old) PG version. It's full of errors - on average 1 or 2 per page. I'm marking them all as I read (and comparing to a printed version in cases of doubt). When I've finished reading the book, I'll correct all the errors I've found, and post a new edition of the book. It won't be perfect, but it'll be a lot better than it was. If subsequent readers inform me about the errors that they in turn find, the eBook will carry on getting better and better.
