“There are people who don’t always understand what goes into an author writing and an editor editing and a publishing house with hundreds of men and women working on these books,” said Mark Gompertz, executive vice president of digital publishing at Simon & Schuster. “If you want something that has no quality to it, fine, but we’re out to bring out things of quality, regardless of what type of book it is.”

This in one point I haven't seen mentioned much and frankly, as publishers are raising prices, it's really getting to me. Every single eBook I've purchased has had at least a dozen spelling or formatting errors, errors which lead me to believe these publishers are just doing an OCR scan of a pBook and uploading it to Amazon. Don't talk to me about quality when I can get things from the darknet that read better than what I'm paying for. And don't expect me to pay for hardback "quality" and then give me the kind of sloppy eBooks we've been getting.
