Typesetting has been done by computer for at least the last 25 years. There was no "conversion" from print to eBook.

Once an electronic file of the book is created (for whatever purpose --- submission, editing, typesetting, etc.) it is ridiculously easy to convert to any format you want and to produce an eBook in any format you want.

This leaves three of your suspects as possibilities for greed. Who gets the largest part of the pie? I have my own suspicions (and it ain't, I think, the author).
