I was wary of quoting more here, it's such a short article that a larger quote would constitute the majority of it. I too thought it was an odd use of the term editor, although I guess it is a valid description for someone that maintains the content of any written material, even websites that sell ebooks ... and in some respects a book editor may well be better qualified for a task such as this than many other people.
