It would cost publishers virtually nothing to fix the obvious spelling errors in backlist ebooks.
All they need to do is offer a few fans of the author a copy of the book to read a week or two in advance of it being released for general sale. I would happily agree to read such a book within a week and report any errors I found. I would even pay for the book, perhaps on the condition that I could have a refund and a free copy of the corrected book if I found any errors.
For backlist books there is no issue with the plot being leaked or anything. At most it would cost a few free copies of the book.
