Thanks.
Arthur C Clarke Venus Prime - Fixed font
This is pretty typical
<p class="para" style="margin: 0px; text-align: center; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><em class="calibre5">Arthur C. Clarke’s Venus Prime: Volume 2</em></p>

The Wild Card ones had very little formatting - and the chapter headers for "Death Draws Five" were all at the end of the book for some reason, NO TOC.
The Asimov ones were mostly just missing formatting
The Betancourt ones varied from very little formatting to OK, NO TOC.

The Zelazny ones were mostly OK as was the Preiss one

I've not looked for OCR errors yet, I tend to start reading and see how things go for that.

The HumbleBundle preview is always pdf, I think they standardised on that as they do a fair number of graphic novel bundles.
Normally the formatting in anything they do is fine, this bunch not so much.
