Hm. If that's the extent of your complaints, then consider yourself lucky.
Over the past decade or so, I have built a library of eBooks laid out in various formats; a good number of them manually scanned and OCR'd with mixed results, to be sure.
Many of these books were scanned by the publisher, who appear to have paid someone to break apart a paper copy of the book, scan each page into .pdf or sometimes OCR'd into some other format and yet spent no time on proofreading the end-product.
These books are riddled with errors-- introduced by poor or inefficient scanning, bad OCR, and/or bad editing in the source material.
I find myself spending more time fixing my ebooks than reading them.
It is perhaps fortunate that my memory is no longer as iron-clad as it once was and I will enjoy the fruits of my labors in the future...
