Welcome to the club.

I have the 600 and reading on it has become natural to me too.

As far as the typos I have heard two things - No book is without atleast one typo. And that the reason for that is that it was used as a marker incase someone copied your book.

Now days though it is simply because they (most of them anyway) are just lazy. Paper pages are scanned in, maybe OCR'ed (computer translated to text), and then sold. In otherwords - not much, if any, proof reading.

Things will get better with time.
