Nevermind! (in *that* voice)
It's funny you mention that. One of the Disqus discussions about this--the Kindle Quality dealio--was one pondering whether a new class of editors would arise, selling services to fix these books?

I have recently added some editing at my shop. Not developmental--we don't have the resources for it--but line edits and proofing. I'd sought to stay out of it, but we've had so many requests I had to capitulate to demand. But I fully expect an increase in demand pursuant to the Kindle stuff.

Perhaps it's something different. Not an editor, or proofreader...maybe it's another term or phrase. Hmmmm. Not an alpha reader...sumpin' else.

What could we call it? A "same day salvation" editor. HA!
