Which format of ebook was it? That might make a difference. I found a number of errors in The Lord of the Rings (eReader.com's PDB format), but when I looked at an excerpt of it in B&N's EPUB version, those errors weren't there.
And one every other page is good, compared to Mercedes Lackey's By The Sword (again, PDB format).
In any case, I suspect that any time it's an older book and there are a lot of errors, it's likely to be scanning and OCR errors.
