Sorry if it sounded like I was throwing stones at PG, I most definitely was not (and if anyone took it that way, sincere apologies).
My one and only point was that typos would be tolerable in a book one was getting for free, and by the grace of others. When you have major publishers charging $10-$20 (and still giving the author an appalling low royalty rate, but that's another matter) for a poor-quality product, it's inexcusable.
