I'm not implying that at all. From your comment I thought you meant they don't market the ebook at all, which I was just pointing out isn't true. I think I misread it though.

If I were a publisher, I would consider marketing for a title to be a cost under all formats of the book. That's probably what they were doing.

I can't argue at all with the proofing though *sigh*. Sometimes it's really atrocious.
