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.

One thing that I've noticed is that for some books, calibre does a poor job of changing from mobi to epub. I have had some books that looked like terrible scan issues, but then when I happened to read the book on the kindle app, those scan issues disappeared. Sure I have run across some books with actual scan issues, but sometimes it's a translation issue (from one format to another).
