Almost certainly true. My own publisher, Tor, didn't even start keeping PDF archives of their books until fairly recently. And PDF is a poor source file for creating an ebook in other formats. Since my new book Sunborn is going to be a Tor ebook as well as a Tor treebook, I've been trying to find out what they're going to use as a source file (and get a copy of it), but so far I've had no luck.
