I wonder if maybe it's the older books with the most errors, which might have been OCR'd. The newer books from major publishers should have electronic XML versions, anyway, that go to third party conversion houses. I'd be surprised if those have wording issues. Maybe images or layout problems might remain, but at least it shouldn't look like bad OCR.
Since the Connect books come in BBeB, can you make changes to the documents? Has anyone tried to open a document with other software, or does the DRM prevent that?
