While it's hard to describe what I mean by quality, it has only a smiggen to do with copy editing errors.
I read about fifty eBooks a year, and, except for a few uncorrected scans gotten from openlibrary.org, I've never noticed a major publisher Overdrive (or 3M, or Axis360, or OneClickDigital) eBook as bad as you describe.
Then, I'm not a good copy editor myself, so maybe I'm just lucky in unconsciously ingoring the errors.
