J A Konrath often makes the same mistakes with his apostrophes, but he seems to do okay making ebooks. As does Selena Blake, judging by her comments on various blogs that I've seen her on recently. In fact quite a few modern writers do, including one that is semi-regular on this site.

I find them quite jarring myself, but they are extremely common.
