Most of the eBooks I buy are from B&N, and while I tend to stick to sci-fi and fantasy (as well as some non-fiction), the books I've bought have no more errors than the paper books I read. I've personally been happy with their quality, though I'll be the first to complain when errors that can easily be handled by skimming through the book or running a spell checker show up.
It does seem that newer eBooks are getting to be higher quality these days. I remember when I bought a few ebooks for my Palm back in the day, they were filled with ridiculous OCR errors and looked like the publisher didn't even open the file before sending it out.
