This is the stupidest thing I have read in a long time... unless, and this seems unlikely, the books are to be based exclusively on professionally prepared Adobe Digital Editions PDF files.

Since the article states HP is making
print versions from high quality university scans of out of copyright books, I fail to see where ebooks come into it.
If the scans are in fact good, what you'll get is a facsimile of the original printed book, and the quality will be as good as the scan.
I would love to see ebook publishers starting from scans of printed books do elementary proofreading and cleanup before generating the ebook version (*cough* Amazon Kindle edition *cough*
), but that's not a factor here.
