Hi Morganucopia,
I know exactly what you mean - I'm in the process of (slowly, ever slowly, within my dismal student budget) purchasing electronic copies of all of my paper books, and there are either massive gaps in back-catalogue e-publishing, or a very clear lack of editing during the format-shifting process!
I'm not running out of things to read, though - I'm a big fan of a lot of independent publishing (once I manage to dig through the erotica and genericism...), but I've seen that a lot of them could do with some editing. A clean up of the grammatical and syntactical errors would be more than enough! Hmm, perhaps another market to fill...
