It's
really not an issue for anything published recently.
I couldn't say when they started doing it, but all modern books start electronically on word processors, get edited electronically, likewise for layout, and they go to the printer, you guessed it, electronically.
All that's really needed is to convert that electronic file to the file type/format needed for the reading software, and that's an automated process once the script or macro or whatever is created and dialed in.
