There are more errors in eBooks, as a function of OCR error (although that should not be the case in books printed more recently) but I rarely find enough to damage my reading experience. I can usually figure out what is meant from context and you would be amazed at how much we tend to do so automatically.

I also edit for a living. Unless I'm working, I overlook errors. Otherwise, they'd take all the fun out of reading.
