Actually it is more likely an indication that the process is adhoc and happens after the paper book is already published. Those same errors are not usually in the paper book so there was not a common source for the book and eBook. Often the paper book is scanned to produce the eBook since there is not a single point source for the electronic copy. (no source control)
