After all, they already have electronic versions of the books that feed the typesetting software. Even the most entry level programmer should be able to produce a script to convert that to any ebook format necessary. So why do we still get typos??

Part of the problem is that a lot of publishers use a PDF file as the source for the eBooks and that always brings it's own set of problems.
