That's understandable. I'm a fan of the epub format, but conversion can take some work if you want to make a commercial quality document. I have several commercial epubs with very sloppy formatting. Calibre was used on at least one commercial epub in my library, and as awesome as Calibre is, it doesn't take away the publisher's responsibility for proofreading. I wonder if some of these publishers have some guy batch converting files without giving the results more than a cursory look.
