I wouldn't have a problem with the shoddy conversions if they were giving the books away or selling them at bargain prices. But publishers are selling unproofed books at full book prices. If publishers want to charge paperback prices or more for e-books, they need to provide the proofing that is a standard part of publishing process as well.
