I'm not sure what you mean by lack of source control of the author's documents. When talking about academic publishing, we submit our electronic versions to the publisher and that's it. So they do have some kind of electronic version that the author submitted. I doubt that many authors these day submit paper versions of their books to publishers.

But why would not need a very large digital version for every book to produce the AZW format. I understand that some eBooks are large due to images or exceptional content but that doesn't have anything to do with the Amazon answer to the question of why there are errors in the book unless you believe images cause more conversion errors.
