So I stand by what I said: Pirated Retail quality ebooks do exist but they are a small minority.
As for low or bad quality copies out there, they are no match to the Retail one can purchase on official sites thus I don't consider it worth worrying about for publishers or raving about for pirates.

Let's be honest here. Some scan/OCR eBooks can be very good. And some can be very poor. And then we have the in-between types. Also, I've seen some retail eBooks very poor. In fact, I downloaded one from the library earlier today that I would think was a poor ePub conversion from a poorly formatted scan/OCR if I didn't know where it came from. So retail is not an indicator of quality. It should be, but it's not.
