Apple Paperbacks is, I believe, an imprint of Scholastic (more info on imprints 
here).  When I come across these, I put "An Apple Paperback" in the notes 
field, since the imprint is not properly a series (like "Harry Potter #4", for 
example).  I think OL should have a separate field for publisher's imprints, 
since it is not otherwise clear where this info should go.  Although it's not 
clear to me how this information would be useful to anyone?  Anyway, I put it 
in the notes field.

I never add the format from an error elsewhere in the record.  However, Amazon 
almost always lists the format, so you can check there.  In this case, I would 
feel confident adding "Paperback" to the format field since Scholastic does not 
publish Apple Paperback books in hardcover editions.  I don't think "unknown" 
in the format field is useful information; wherever I am not sure what the 
correct data is I leave it blank, and if a record lists "unknown" in the format 
field I remove the data.
