That's one of my concerns with this, also. Every Google book I've downloaded has been loaded with errors (I once got one that had about three straight pages of symbols - (@*$#{?>: and so on - instead of content) and while that doesn't bother me in a free product, if I paid for it and it still had those kinds of errors, I'd be really annoyed.
