I just don't buy that as a suitable excuse. A publisher should be proofing what they sell. Why is it the case that ebooks are exempt from that? The example I cite above has nothing to do with OCR errors, it's just a shoddy job.
I suspect what's happened is that publishers are falling over themselves to enter the e-book market, but that the production pipeline for books is still in its infancy. The market was originally too small for them to devote many resources to it. That's changing and I hope the quality will follow suit.
