As resident experts, let me know when your perfect publishing enterprises get off the ground and we can all bow down in awe and admiration...
Because, like jupstin says, the sort of errors that are commonly encountered in shoddy ebooks are OCR errors. Where 'I' becomes '1', the serif 'l' becomes 'i', and the like.

But I guess we're just dumb folk with no idea of what's going on
