These are two different things. Those with a financial stake in a copyrighted work can do as they please with it to maximize their return. People who create digital books as a labor of love shouldn't rewrite text and pass it off as original.
And nobody's expecting Herculean efforts here. Get a reasonable copy of the text and go with it.
C'mon, Harry, you don't really think it's ok to change a text.
