I'll agree on OCR/etc. I've seen far too many obvious errors in ebooks. It's particularly annoying as they are presumably starting from the same data (i.e., the text in a digital form) for both electronic and print.
But the margin thing
seems to be a case of their setting the formatting assuming certain text and display sizes and I'm not sure how much that's a problem with how the publishers specify this stuff and how much is the rendering engine. This seems to be specific to ePub, too.
