Ficbot, I have same reaction you do to obvious errors. I was just reading the free edition of Free on my Sony, and thought, didn't anyone notice that there are paragraphs that start with lower-case "free"? The fault there is clearly either the publisher or Sony--hard to say which. I doubt very much that the copy-edited manuscript had that flaw.

That said, I'm not clear on what you're asking. Are you referring to someone looking at the copy that the writer sends to the publisher? Or the OCR of the scan of a backlist book? Or the ebook that shows up at FW or Baen or Amazon?

Different answers apply to the different cases.
