That raises a question: who actually produces the ebook files? Given the existence of errors that *look* like scanned paper converted with OCR and inadequate proofreading, is it Amazon or the publisher who is doing the conversion? It is mildly amazing to me that there isn't a flawless transfer of some master electronic copy of the book into each new format, printed or electronic. I can't think of a good reason for new errors to appear well into the life of a book.
