If the intention is to ultimately end up with a library full of ebooks without spelling mistakes, then file sharing is the way to get it. Anyone who finds a mistake in a fan-made ebook can either fix it themself and re-upload it, or post a list of corrections for someone else to act on.

Perhaps the publishers should offer some sort of bounty for proof reading, or at least have forums on their websites for people to report the mistakes they find. But they would need to act on those reports, otherwise people would soon lose interest in reporting them.
