For availability, you can go to Amazon and look for books you're interested in to see if they have them in Kindle format. For formatting, you could install K4PC and download samples to get an idea of the quality. The handful of books that I've bought from Amazon did not have major formatting issues...but this may depend on the particular book; it's my impression that newer books are better in this respect.
I did buy and return one cookbook due to a formatting issue (although it was not an error; it was a bad design decision, although perfectly implemented). It was a cookbook in which the ingredients were listed on one page, but you had to click a link at the bottom of the ingredient list to get to the instruction page. This made it really annoying to follow the recipe - and I didn't realize that when I downloaded the sample, as I just looked for typos and the like.
One great thing about Amazon is that you can return e-books to Amazon within 7 days for any reason. This won't fix formatting errors, but at least you won't have to pay for them.
