I'm just saying I have realistic expectations and in some cases will accept a higher percentage of errors because I'm happy there's an e-version of the book at all.

I tend to agree with you. I have a fairly high tolerance for errors for ebooks for the same reason, especially if it's a backlist book that rather obviously was scanned. As long as it is possible to understand based on the context, I'm ok with it. I probably wouldn't be as happy about a brand new book.
There is an old adage in project management - cheap, fast, good - pick two of the three. I would add to that if you are lucky you can get as many as two out of three. Many times, it's one out of the three. People seem to want cheap, then complain because the workmanship is shoddy.
