That's because the ePub books are formatted differently than the ones that Sony used to carry (LRX). ePub doesnt support full justification (having all of the lines line up).

Typos and such are from the publisher (not Sony or other ebook distributors). I agree with basschick, there are often many typos, more than I would expect with a print version. I still haven't figured out why, you would think they would just use the version they send to the presses.
