Bollocks. You don't get enough people good enough to proof read well because you don't want to pay them well.
If you're going to charge the same for an ebook as you do for a paperback, you've got to ensure that the same quality is provided. Its as simple as that. Don't try to blame the a lack of workforce for your stinginess and eagerness to make as much money as you can by bringing out a shoddy ebook version.
