The same applies to the legal ones - although the quality gap isn't as large

The books I get from Fictionwise frequently have scanning mistakes. Compare that to Blackmask which rarely has mistakes.

I would argue that non-DRMed ebooks get better over time. In my case, the Palm app that I use to read them also lets me edit them. So as I read the book, I correct the mistakes. I can then re-post the corrected version. You can't do that with DRMed eBooks. (Although, I can imagine what many authors think about letting the general public edit their work and effectively republish it. )

Convert-LIT works (sometimes) but many times the resulting .html file is just a poorly converted text file.
