They press e-text files through a program,that outputs in all formats (mobi, LRF, lit, prc,...).
Though my concern is that many books that are been automatically formatted, usually also have lousy formatting.

This is absolutely not true and I am deeply offended by this statement.
Don (Dr.Drib), Patricia, Crutledge, nrapallo and Harry T are my friends (and I do not count that many in this community yet) All of our books are handmade and with great love for those books. We make books in multiple formats, that's true. But we do that because YOU people want and use different formats.
As I see it, there is not one of our books that is "lousy" formatted (gr!!). Nobody that I know is doing this for any "credits", that is absolutely sure and certain (perhaps YOU should check your motivation). There is no gain in this, neither financially nor is there any fame to be gained. If there really is a problem with us posting in multiple formats or too many books, there may be a simple solution for that, at least for me.
Whenever I have a book to upload, I check if this has been uploaded before. If it has been uploaded and mine does not have a real plus value, I won't post it in that format. Basta. And most of my "colleagues" do the same.
PS: If you download a book with "lousy" formatting, just delete it, it hasn't costed you anything at all. Make a new, better version.
