I have actually reason to believe that those same errors exist in the hardcover version as well. So, perhaps they are restricted to the preface? It was still enough to put me off it, so I might never know for sure.
They look like scanning errors to me, as if the publisher scanned a printed copy rather than converting from an existing digital file.

And I agree: that sample was painful to read. I can't imagine struggling through a whole book of that. It's like someone is sticking you with a pin every few sentences.
