(Biting back a snarky reply about the career advice...)
Look--many of the problems people complain about come from the retailer, not the author or the publisher. (Although I suppose you could argue that the retailer has become the secondary publisher, since they're doing the conversions.) Yeah, wrong words are probably a bad OCR job or maybe the author's fault, or the like. But formatting and spacing problems and run-together words and dropped scenebreaks, and a lot of things like that can come from bad conversion jobs. I'm not defending bad conversion scripts. They suck, and should be fixed.
But am I going to buy copies of all my books in every available format from all the retailers and proof them all? Get real. Life's too short.
Speaking of which, I should be writing my book, not endlessly commenting here...
