Their record is spotty.
Well, all new ebooks I read do not have this problem. Do you have any example of this for books that are not converted by scanning?

Traditional pubishing rejected many authors who are now successful including Agatha Christie, J.K. Rowling, Louis L'Amour, Dr. Suess, Zane Grey, CS Lewis, and many others.
Well, of course they did not reject the books since they were published. But just because a book at a specific time is right for one publisher does not mean it is right for all publisher at all times.
