Well, Katie1, going on your erudite replies, I think the mistakes you find in the ebooks must be absolute glaring wonders ... which emphasises my original point: that because language standards have fallen alarmingly these days, proofreading standards have followed.
It's much cheaper to employ a machine or a software program than a person.
Run this through your spellchecker:
Mount Everest is 3.722 metres high
and see what it tells you.
I don't subscribe to any library, so I can't/don't report any mistakes I find to anybody. I don't think they'd listen too much, anyway.
I find the old-fashioned proofreading I do keeps me busy enough to ensure that my electronic reading is kept to a minimum, although I must admit that any ebooks I do read give me a wonderful amount of proofreading practice (that's the un-American way of spelling it, by the way).
End of discussion.
