From what I've seen ebooks from the Publishers are often worse than the ones you can find from other sources. I don't think the quality of the conversion has much to do with whether it's done by a "professional", it's more about somebody just spending the time to get it right.
Besides, if the original author is releasing the ebook themselves in the formats that people want, there shouldn't be any need for others to do any conversion.
