I don't really care about the editing of ebooks.
I do care about proof-reading. And the PBHs are doing it. I paid for an early Tom Clancy ebook recently (one originally published after he hit big). It came in an omnibus edition, and as such, should be quite mature as an eBook. The ebook had many, many hundreds of errors. Not even spell-checked. Whole pages incorrectly scanned.
If this is how the publishers treat their popular authors, how do you expect them to treat not yet established authors.
The main problem is that the publishers are no longer even doing the job that they claim is their reason for existing.
