And I wager part of that labor would be converting graphs to be readable in some cases as well. I mean if you have a line or bar graph you have to make sure that there is enough contrast between shades of grey (on Kindle) to make things understandable and the same with a pie graph. I also imagine that's just a simple example of such formatting problems as well.

I can tell you that the formatting of an ebook with graphs or images is much more labor intensive than just taking a word book and reformatting it. Thus to take a technical book with numerous images.... that was published five years ago and turn it into an ebook would take considerable time....... so I THINK that's part of the answer to your question.
