I honestly don't see why there are often more errors in ebooks at all. Why aren't the publishers using the same source text for both ebooks and printed books?
If these are backlist eBooks, there is no source other then maybe a PDF file or just a printed copy. So all that can be done is PDF > ePub or scan/OCR. And they don't bother to check their work.
