Those are OCR and/or spell checking mistakes. One thing I do see a lot of sometimes is the spurious - in a word where it doesn't belong. This is due to either OCR or PDF conversion. And it does break the flow of the book.
There is a digital file out there (mostly in Word) that could be used to make the eBook versions. But that won't happen as the publishers are too shortsighted to see that have no clue what to do.
