OK, all you book lovers in Mobile Read land (and speaking in particular about all the mistakes that stand out like dogs' whatnames on display in the ebooks available), what would you rather have: a book proofread properly by a human or one that's been scanned by an OCR?
Do those jarring literals in the text make your hair stand on end or do you (a) ignore them, (b) not worry about them, (c) fail to see them or (d) simply shrug and accept them as the price you have to pay for living in this electronic world?
