Well, perhaps although digital transfers are mostly glitch free and I doubt if they have any in their 200K eBooks. Typos should not creep in at all and formatting errors are possible as are characters not in their final character set but why would that say the use a very large version of the source file? The source file need not be particular large for text transfers. I doubt they leave it up to the author to proof his eBooks if they get them commercially from a publisher. I would believe that they do no proofing themselves.
