It's the way they get them. A lot of publisher eBooks need fixing and not bought just from Kobo. You can buy eBooks from B&n, BooksOnBoard, Kobo, Sony, B&N, Diesel and others that need fixing.

I bought a couple of eBooks from Weightless during their 50% off sale and they both need fixing. One has margins that are way too large and it's not justified. The other has small margins that most could be fine with but it's not justified and in chapter four of the first book, there is text that doesn't wrap properly. Also, it's created using Sigil and the filenames are garbage. Chapter four of book one (It's an omnibus) is Secon08.xhtml.
