Then, I'm not a good copy editor myself, so maybe I'm just lucky in unconsciously ingoring the errors.

What does errors in publisher books have to do with OverDrive per se?
To name one example of why this is a lousy yardstick: I myself have noticed a depressing lack of backlist in OverDrive. Backlist -- THE most likely kind of ebook to be utterly mistreated by publishers.
And I read far, far more than 50 books a year, and I don't focus on niche books (I believe you read a lot of academic-funded works?), and I have noticed the same trend as murg. And it isn't even limited to backlist.
