There is an argument (made above) that if the format conversion is done by the retailer, then the retailer is responsible. I'm inclined to think that in such a case, the retailer bears some responsibility, but I also think the publisher has a responsibility to provide a good source file. I'd prefer the retailers not to do any conversion, though.

I've read books that have been OCR'd, and which have had errors that should have been picked up during a proof-read. There's no excuse for it.
