FYI, I've yet so see a 100% perfect e-book. that could be true of paper books also but the business of learning to fix up "bad" books makes you hyper conscious of details that you'd maybe never thought about before. things like punctuation of nested dialogues, use of ellipses, dashes, scene breaks, indents ...

then there's the whole world of detecting & fixing incorrect line breaks. lots of good how-to advice on forums which I will not re-type here

I've "bought" several free Kindle books, I reckon to find at least one typo or faulty line break per book;
& I have a theory that maybe Amazon makes some books free as they can't be bothererd to clean up overall bad formatting
