And as I mentioned in an earlier post, at least one major publisher I talked to last year admitted they have one, and only one, man who handles all their ebooks. The implication (though I'll admit it wasn't said outright) was that this one guy handles converting ebooks and everything else involved, like proofreading. That's pretty sad.
On the other hand, as the ebook market starts to gain more momentum, hopefully publishers will realize that ebooks actually need the same attention and processing (editor, proofreader, etc.) as regular print books. One hopes, anyway.
