That's really interesting that you'd make that observation about BAEN's ebooks (David Weber's work, in this case), because I've actually been more impressed with their good formatting than I have been with any other "traditional" publisher's formatting.
It just seems to me that some of the traditional houses don't want to put in the same level of effort into producing an ebook that they do into a hardcover or a paperback, which saddens me. If I'm going to be paying as much for an ebook, I'd really like the formatting to be decent, you know?
