Here is what I mean by better formatted:

Table of Contents always included

No funny characters scattered throughout the text

No missing paragraphs or words

Graphics on the same page as their captions

I found I could not count on these things for books in the Amazon or Barnes and Noble stores for low cost or free books. Even more expensive books often lacked table of contents (when one was appropriate - for books with chapters or short stories). More expensive books often lacked appropriate handling of graphics - Nook is bad, Kindle is worse.

Feedbooks almost always has table of contents when appropriate, and never has missing paragraphs, funny characters, etc. Though once (out of around 50 books) I encountered a chapter that was the duplicate of the previous chapter.

EDIT: formatting
