Well... If they are making business with ebooks, and they want customers to buy ebooks from them, they should be able to provide quality ebooks. If they can't, they should stop selling them, or at least charging more than $1.
If they can't fix the errors themselves and have to pay $50 to someone else, so be it, they made much more than that by selling the error-laden ebook first. It's not the fact that there are errors that annoys me, it's the apparent total unwillingness to even pay attention to them.
