Yeah, I've noticed quite a number of obvious OCR errors on back catalog titles. There's less likely to be errors with new titles from BPH. Alas, the same could not be said for majority of indie ebooks I've tried. I've taken to steering clear of independent ebooks unless it's recommended by my OCD friend.
