Why do you always do that... what has gumption to do with anything... and I used to make a living doing design and proofing... but I gave up the proofing because it's a cr***y job that destroys any enjoyment in the reading material and is totally undervalued by everyone especially know-it-alls like you. As far as electronic files are concerned, again you show the vast range of your ignorance... files for print are MARK-UP files that include a huge quantity of formatting, layout and image placement commands - they don't convert well to any ebook format (and in some cases give worse results than OCRing) and YES, ebooks are still a secondary line as far as publishers are concerned and thus do get different treatment, not that indies seem to do any better either...still, just wait and see what you get if the prices do drop to next to nothing as many want...
