Ficbot, to expect the author to fix this is like expecting Sisyphus to make it to the top of the hill. The system is simply not set up to enable authors to exert any quality control. (At least in my experience.)

It's not like they send us e-galleys, though you could argue that they should. But that's never going to work, when there are all these different formats, each requiring proofing.

Maybe if we ever shake down to one standard format, we'll have a system where the author actually gets to (and is expected to) proof the ebook.
