Paper books are hardly magical creations that are typed up by fairies and thus immune from typos and errors, by the way. It's only a matter of time before publishers start dedicating the kind of resources to proofreading and formatting for the electronic editions as they do to the paper ones.

And hopefully soon... a book I just picked up from B&N started out cleanly (always make those preview pages clean), but has deteriorated halfway through to at least 1 OCR error per page, which is getting to be highly annoying at that rate. It deters me from even wanting to buy books at all, knowing what kind of quality (lack thereof) I'm likely to get.
