In my experience, ebooks (other than PDFs) definitely have more typos than pbooks.
I don't think they're subjected to the same proofing procedures as pbooks.
I'm currently reading the ebook version of Steven King's 'The Stand', purchased from FictionWise. So far, I think every occurrence of 'corner' has been rendered as 'comer'. A typical OCR error.
