I'm currently proofing a book I scanned for my own use. It's horrid. The OCR I used probably was not the best, it's part of the scanner bundle (HP). But the point is, do publishers really trust OCR that much, that they don't have the books then proofread by humans?
Alternatively, don't Amazon and Sony have Quality Control departments that should be at least looking at the books before they're put on the sites?
