I was agreeing with you until the "There can be no errors". Maybe no errors introduced by OCR but I've seldom read any ebook in any format that did not include a couple of spelling and/or grammar errors. Quite a few of those errors are the type that indicated a dependence on software to proof the copy and not a human eye. One recent ebook I read had spots which reminded me of the spellchecker poem.
Code:
I have a spelling checker
It came with my PC
It highlights for my review
Mistakes I cannot sea.
I ran this poem thru it
I'm sure your pleased to no
Its letter perfect in it's weigh
My checker told me sew.
