I ask because I'm starting to get really fed up with the appalling quality. From the number and nature of the typos, it's clear there's an automated process at work with zero human intervention. For example, the last book I read had "R d" instead of "I'd" on numerous occasions, and stopped without warning about 20 pages from the end! This problem appears to be publisher independent.
Also, do they ever update versions? Can I hope to one day have properly proofread versions of these books?

You've heard the joke about a roomful of chimps at typewriters, the complete works of Shakespeare and 'sufficient time'?
Well, most publishers aren't that efficient.
