Yes, but Baen makes it very clear that ARCs will have typos, etc. in them and aren't a finished product. To find one in the free library is a bit weird, but still not outside of reason. I expect different from publishers charging full price (especially full hardback or greater than paperback price!) Doubly so for a DRMed copy that I can't correct the typos in my copy of.
What it shows is that most publishers do not expend the effort to fully proof an ebook, especially when ported to different formats. You'd think that if the publisher is going to reap the profit on the book, they should be willing to pay for the same level of proofing on it.
