This is simply not true for ePub books. In fact it's the main attraction of ePub books. Just for one example, my work plan when designing ePub format ebooks is to do an initial layout version with the text consisting only of lorem ipsum pig latin. When the layout is right, then I edit it to enter the text. And then I proof read it, and edit it to correct any typos etc.

And for another example I've often edited ePub books designed by others to correct typos and other mistakes.

If one has a basic knowledge of HTML and stylesheets it is easy to edit ePub ebooks.
