It doesn't help when a site goes for quantity over quality either. I found a copy of "The Pirate" by Sir Walter Scott over at Internet Archive (just about the only place I could find it) and I had to go through it top to bottom to correct all the scanning artifacts and broken sentences that littered the book's text. I might still have missed some for all I can be sure. They apparently don't take the time to proofread what they scan in, just scan and move on to the next book. At least Project Gutenberg takes some pains to make sure their ebooks are fairly clean of such mistakes, though I imagine some do still creep in even there.
