Though with ebooks you can customise the format and make corrections without tippex and fine ballpoint pen
There are ultimately three levels of annoying publishing practices:
1) Publishers having copyright and not even using ebooks or POD to make out of print available. Now inexcusable.
2) What you think is annoying formatting and poor proofing. You might be wrong, or it can be a regional variation. But at least ebooks are usually amenable to changes.
3) DRM. It's stupid and doesn't stop piracy at all.
