Some ebooks have obviously not even had spell-check run on them. I've also seen lots of errors like spaces after commas, no spaces after periods, etc. where those combinations of characters should never happen. Publishers need a few parsing scripts to check for obvious problems. However, there is no substitute for someone reading the manuscript and paying attention. I've seen too many mis-transcribed names and misused words. Maybe they need a script that looks at all the commonly misused homonyms and other words and displays the context for a human to double-check? Like "flair" vs. "flare", "break" vs. "brake", "stake" vs. "steak", "loose" and "lose".
