Some of this error (not all) might well be technology generated. What my own wee house does when producing ebook versions of our paperbacks is not to use the material we set for print but to go back to the corrected Word.doc source, re-proof and set for ebook with a completely new version. It's still not foolproof, but it works well and is much better than creating an ebook, almost as an afterthought, from the file intended for print. My guess is that many publishers are too lazy, cheap or understaffed to go to the added editorial trouble of post-galley re-proofing and correction sopecifically for ebook. Cheers. Neil
