It is digital but the fixing process is broken. All input needs to be edited before it is published and the editing is an independent effort based on what needs to be fixed. It is like software where the programmers never used a common checkin or built from a single source. What the publishers end up with is an assortment of all the fixes that are then spliced together to make the final book. The have digital copies but probably many of them from different machines and they are never merged back together.
