In books, they must have the original - which should be digital one way or another, making a transition rather painless.

So the only reason I can see to make an eBook worse than the pBook is that they don't care and want to minimize money spent.
Which, IMO, is merely an initial investment - once you have a program that can do a good conversion, it doesn't evaporate.

Of course, I'm assuming that the digital original contains actual semantic information. I would find it hard to believe that things like titles and quotes and that would not be specially marked in the master copy.
