How I wish this was true. In the sense that purchased eBooks, especially if older than a few years, are riddled with scan errors, typos, missing punctuation, etc. Even 'mature' eBooks, that are being published again in omnibuses.

For example, I'm currently reading 'Dune', purchased as part of Gateway's omnibus (so presumably it was available separately before). I'm on chapter 3 or 4 and so far I have over 10 instances of the opening quote of a dialogue being not present. There is no excuse for this.

'Pirated' eBooks have, in many cases, been crowd-proofed.
