I found a PDF of a book I was reading and tried finishing it in the PDF format on my phone after converting it from PDF to HTML and then to Word format. I noticed that on a couple occasions the text was way off the original. Checking the PDF I knew it wasn't from the conversion process I did but from something else. So with this I am worried that eBooks I pay for are likely to have mistakes like this or worse, someone could alter the eBook themselves and change it up a bit.
I'd like to buy from one store, I am unsure if Amazon or this Sony store I've heard of would have the same eBooks or how it works. Going with the last point I made I would assume that stores like these would have at least a lesser amount of errors by mistake or purposely.
One other thing came to mind just now, and that is censorship. Would stores censor titles?

Yes, even eBooks you buy may have errors in them. Particularly if they are scanned from old paper books but publishers don't seem to give them the attention they deserve so new eBooks have some errors also I believe. Note that even paper books have errors. Older books are usually fairly cheap but they don't have the quality checks in them that I think they deserve.
