The dominant feeling I see on MR these days is that people expect to get their ebooks cheap. Developmental editing, which just about everyone needs, costs. Copy editing costs. Proofreading costs. These are skilled trades occupied by people who are professionally trained, and expect professional rates for doing it.

It is increasingly not being done, even by major trade houses, in attempts to cut costs and save money.
Precisely what ebookers expect and publishers are doing.
