It hasn't been my experience and I'd wager that if major e-books were that terribly formatted as the norm, it would be a big story.
Again, I tend to buy more books from indies and small presses than the biggies. But the indies I tend to read are authors who have previously been published by a major publisher. Because that fact tells me they have at least some talent.
I'm not trying to run indies down. Just trying to keep it honest.

But if I'm paying $12.99 or $14.99 like the publishers want, I expect that they've at least proofed the scan errors. And, they are professional publishers, who make a big deal about the level of service they put into producing books.
Since the indie books are a lot cheaper, I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.
