If enough people complain and/or buy it, they'll have it done properly? (yeah, right....)

One sees that sort of attitude in Corporate America all the time, that's why things like Customer Service and IT gets outsourced. The money guys are sold on the idea that they will save a lot of money, but never really think about quality control. Once they make that decision, then it takes a lot for them to admit it was an error.
They could improve the issue, simply by hiring a bunch of English majors and have them run it through a spell checker, then do a quick proof read to make sure everything is there and there isn't anything jarring.
The flip side is that IMPO, it's better to have an ebook with some errors in it than no ebook at all. As long as there isn't anything missing, I can live with it.
