From what I've personally read so far in the titles I've purchased (Henry James, Charles Dickens, HG Wells), I've not seen any of the blatant scanning errors that plagued the Mobile Reference editions (In many of the Mobile Reference editions, apostrophes or quotes at the end of sentences were rendered as question marks. I've also seen this in some Penguin ebooks. Must be a common OCR error - and rather easy to spot if anyone bothered to even proof read one page of their ebook.)
I'll post more as I read more of these titles.
If you're an HG Wells fan, the Delphi volume has all of the short stories in the PD - something I'd not found before from other publishers.
I'm no expert, but these editions don't look like scanned ebooks - they appear cleanly typeset - and are a pleasure to read.
