I have gone back to real books for most of my reading, ebooks being reserved for things that are either unavailable or just too expensive on the second hand market to justify. A lot of that is down to the sheer volume of mistakes in ebooks, but I don't think it is a deliberate decision made by the publishers. I think it's more a case of the market not being large enough for them to allocate resources to it. But unless they at least proof read them, I can't really see that market getting much bigger.
