Welcome to MobileRead, Steve.
Everyone has noticed the issues you speak of. Some, like me, just want the reading experience, and if there are errors, and formatting problems, as long as I can read the book, I can overlook that.
Others feel differently.
Try typing something like "e-book formatting issues on e-books" in our search box (upper right hand corner) and see the may threads out there.
In the meantime, try downloading some of the books avaialable here, formatted by our own members, for a good reading experience.
