However, if I am not mistaking, this does not depend on Amazon but on the publishers. Amazon is not "responsible" for the content of ebooks they sell, they do not tamper with them.

Yes ok, I agree that this should fall into the responsibility of the publisher. But well, on the other hand: Amazon has such a big influence (file format, prices and so on...), why not using this to ensure some quality? I read a lot of German texts and, you know, we like joining words to produce quite long funny compounds like "Donaudampfschifffahrtskapitän" (ok ok, this _is_ a quite artificial example but you get the point). So it is good to know that I have to preprocess my ebooks in any case after buying it, since in that case I might consider buying them somewhere else, if there are some other reasons for that.
