I have noticed that there is clearly a difference between the quality of the editing of ebooks vs print books. I read a lot, about 2 books every 3 days, and the difference is obvious. I am basing this on a few ebooks purchased from Amazon, several free ebooks from Amazon, around three hundred ebooks from Baen Publishing, several free ebooks from various authors, and a hefty selection of free ebooks from here and other free sites. These are compared to the hundreds of thousands of print books I've read.
Most errors are things like "my" printed as "me" or "it is" printed as "itis". Some errors are much worse such as the 50 plus books combined in the E. R. Burrough's mega bundle ebook where some characters are replaced with symbols throughout at least one book.
With most of the ebooks I do not find this to be any more than a minor problem but if I start spending money equal to what I'd be paying for the paperback or hard cover I will be highly irritated.
