Some of us indies don't do typos, misspellings or poor grammar and punctuation. We're good at formatting too. And not all the mainstream published ebooks are perfect; I've read a lot of complaints about them on Amazon forums, though they cost so much.
The reader is in charge now, and can decide what to buy, and this can only be good for readers, writers and literature. Not so good for publishers...
