I've fired more epub "editors" than I like to think about. Part of it, amusingly enough, is that the html editors get pissed off at the authors, who tend to be pissy in their proof sheets. It would be funny if it didn't cause me so much agita. I can't tell you how many ePUBs I've had to edit myself because I daren't let the Crews see the nasty comments from the authors--almost always about errors that they (the authors) themselves made, and blame on my Crews, or because they don't know a hard return from a ball return.

I would love to be paid to create eBooks. Even at the low end of the scale (whatever it is). That would help supplement my current income. I don't do shoddy layouts like a lot do. I know what looks good on a computer screen and an eink reader.
But, that aside, why would the editors get pissed off? Personally, I find it easy enough to shrug it off if it's something I didn't do wrong.
