I haven't noticed any errors in recently published books. I do notice plenty when I read back-catalogue titles that have clearly been scanned with OCR to produce a digital text. Funny thing is, even running a simple spellchecker would remove about half of these. However, if they're not being proofread at all, their accuracy is fairly impressive considering the results I get when I scan PDFs using ABBY Finereader. They must have some very powerful software at their disposal.
In theory, formatting for reflowable text should be a lot simpler than typesetting for a static layout, except in cases where there are special issues to consider, e.g. mathematical formulae. One thing that drives me nuts, though, is massive spacing between paragraphs. If you wouldn't do it for a print book, why would you do it for an ebook?
