Why would you use OCR for a 2007 book?
I'm reading a new release ebook Copyright 2007 and I've noticed a couple of OCR errors in it. Nothing major just enough to realize that it was an OCR conversion. This is the typical stuff such as the occasional page number between paragraphs or garbage characters in a place name.

Does anyone know why they would decide to do an OCR conversion rather then going directly to the digital source? Surely they have computers.....
