Anyway, my experience is quite limited, as I've only bought about a dozen ebooks.
I have purchased considerably more than a dozen books (close to 300) and concur with your assessment.

I suppose Penguin would be considered a BPH. If so, I considerer them one of the most egregious in this regard. Whole paragraphs out of order. Hit the convert button and push it out the door. Why worry, there is no refund on an ebook.

My 2¢
