It should be noted that the "errors" in this case are gaps in sequence. Sometimes the DNA strand slips through the pore and some bases aren't called.
The actual base calling is on par with Hi-seq in my experience. In software terms, you are missing chunks of code, but aren't flipping bits.
This is important because in certain experiments, you care less about those gaps (scaffolding for example). So you can get a lot of cheap utility out of nanopore sequencing.
