Will Ebook publishers start taking e-book quality more seriously

Ebook publishers must do more to eliminate annoying errors – Telegraph Blogs

In the early days of e-book publishing there has been little respect shown for the electronic format. I've seen commercial releases of e-books that are essentially poorly OCRed versions of the print version. This is likely because the people given the task of creating the electronic versions are either (or both) unenthusiastic/resentful and technically incompetent.

Now that publishers are seeing the potential for big money, and fearing being overtaken by new tech-savvy publishers, we will see more effort being spent on creating e-reader friendly books.
