I disagree. It's hard, and other readers can be a great help, but it's something you have to learn to do. The responsibility is the author's - and this applies even if you are being "properly" published by a firm with an office full of editors. Your name is on the cover.

I don't know anything about the Smashwords process, but if it doesn't allow you to read the book in the published format before it goes public, perhaps you need to consider another route. If it does, why didn't you?
