That term was coined because a lot of backlist eBooks were made via scanning a paper edition since no electronic version exists.

I have found that when Textcafe's PDF2XML is used, italics and smallcaps generally get screwed up. I have never seen a perfect PDF to anything else conversion and the publisher is at fault for allowing poorly made eBooks going to be sold.
