I *NEVER* published an author's manuscript. The author's manuscript is a manuscript, not a final work. I'm a publisher, not a "printer". The source of an ebook is the XML I work with the author, not his manuscript. The manuscript I receive from an author and the ebook I publish are not the same thing, in the middle there is the publisher work: editing, corrections, iconographic material, interactive material, analytical indexes, thematic paths, sources, requests for rewriting or new drafts... and counting. This is the *source*, not the author draft. But I think we have a completely different idea of ​​what a publisher needs to do professionally.
