It is not "normal" for a book (or an ebook) to have errors. It happens and it happens to frequently. It is more common in ebooks than pbooks as ebook production is often the poor step child of the publishing industry.
Yes there are errors and format problems. Many publishers still put a lot of white space around the page as they would a pbook. There are times where the photographs or drawings do not show up well in an ebook that worked very well in the pbook. There are some people that will never be happy with any format other than their own for an ebook. Others are just happy to get the book at all. I have not found that the error/problem rate in ebooks to be any worse that it is in pbooks.
eBooks are a disruptive technology that the publishers have yet to adapt to. They ignore it at their own risk.
