Editing is, in fact, the major part of the work a publisher does (other than marketing). According to Charlie Stross (who, being a professional author, would know), it's as much work, literally, as writing the book in the first place. Ebook production is a bit cheaper, but only a bit. Stross estimates ebooks should be, maybe, 10% cheaper than a paper book of the same thing. Yeah, really.
