Regrettably, whatever method is used, publishers too often seem to be sacrificing quality for speed/economy. Hence the prevalence of typos and glaring errors of formatting. I can (just) accept that errors such as "con clusion" are not of cosmic proportions. I think it's inexcusable to find an entire sentence run together with no spaces between the words, every chapter. (Penguin history of modern China).
I have heard that publishers quite often entrust the ebook creation to a third-party - a digital printer, if you like. I've seen some lamentable results, usually in connection with the correct display of accented letters. Maybe these were just early steps on the learning curve?
