Good question.

Basically, the contents had the appearance of a scanned book which has been mostly proofed. The main errors were punctuation, especially missing quotes. A few instances of scan errors (be not he, fetch not fletch), but not consistently.

But, due to your query, I checked.

It turns out that the Amazon ebook is worse than an alternatively available version. It is either a fresh scan or an earlier version of an alternatively available version. I doubt it is a fresh scan, as it looks too proofed for that.
