It certainly costs less to keep an ebook "in print" and available for sale
worldwide with no shipping costs.

I find it odd that these publishers are accepting so poorly written manuscripts, that a
very expensive "proofing" and or editing process would be required, on a routine basis.
It should be little more than a computer scan, of the files that the author provides, by
a sophisticated AI based program. If the program finds too many problems the files
should go back to the author, the way edits always have.
