My experience is similar - pbooks often have as many typos and homonyms as ebooks.
Clearly they illiterates are running the presses these days.
Where ebooks tend to be really bad is in formatting and transcription errors, where you get linebreaks randomly inserted / removed and punction symbols turned into garbage characters. I think that's an inevitable consequence of books being produced as e.g. PDF or AZW and given a quick'n'dirty conversion into EPUB or whatever, but it is still irritating.
