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.

But the problem is that sometimes we do get errors in eBooks that are not in the pBook version(s).
