That's a good article, but still with some weaknesses. If a book goes out with a publisher's colophon then it's surely still the publisher's responsibility if the 'middleman' (eg Amazon) makes a mess of the formatting. The publisher has a responsibility to proof read what Amazon produces, and if they make a mess badger Amazon until they fix it. If the publisher doesn't want to take this trouble then it should remove its colophon. They can't have it both ways.
