The majority of e-books I have purchased have had good formatting. There have been a handful that had pretty bad formatting. I still read them but I admit it was annoying. It's not just indie books either. Even some books from professional publishers have had bad formatting. Of course, this issue does not seem to occur in printed books. The one exception being an independently published book I borrowed from the library recently.

Typos do seem more common in e-books. I could probably count on one hand and have fingers left over the number of p-books with typos that I've read. To be fair, the e-books with typos don't have many (more like one-three) so it doesn't bother me.

It just feels like publishers still take much more care with p-books and expect readers of e-books to put up with books that apparently have less care put into them.
