Two of the last half-dozen e-books I've purchased from major publishers have contained so many proofing errors that I was sure no print version would have left the printers in similar condition. There's no excuse for that.
Being independent (and these days, no real editing help), I make a concerted effort to re-read word-by-word, reproof and repair such errors, and I know I've done a better job than many pro publishers.
