Traditional publishers of paper books aren't perfect, and they can produce shoddy work too... but books from established publishers by authors that are likely to have a 2nd book down the road are, as a general rule, prepared with notably more care than eBooks of any sort by anyone.

St. Martin's is a major label of Macmillan publishing. My friend isn't in the literary world at all. She's a consumer. This is a book she purchased. I fixed it for her so it would be readable.The author of the book is a NY Times bestselling author with a couple dozen books out.
