I was more or less referring to people who have a proclivity to fly into a rage about encountering any typos whatsoever while reading an ebook, but would read the same physical book with the same errors and never utter a word.

I agree we should all do our part to encourage publishers to fix mistakes—by all means. But I don't think ebooks should be held to a higher standard than the physical book simply because it would be "easier" for someone to make the actual correction. The point is that they both require the same proofing efforts/skills before their release (and of course I'm excluding shoddy ebooks that are obviously completely unproofed drivel being foisted upon paying customers). I just don't think the normal/casual typos in ebooks are quite the atrocity that many (not referring to anybody specifically, here) seem to want to make them out to be.
