Boy, I'm glad you found those books. The indie e-books I've purchased (which are usually reprints by mid-list genre authors whose paper books went out of print) tend to be the opposite of what you describe. I Alf them and clean them up a bit, but it can be some work.
I support indie books and am glad that the e-book market has made it viable to bring these niche titles back into print. But I can't kid myself that, on the whole, the indies do a better job than the big guys. That is just demonstrably wrong.
