Lois McMaster Bujold:
I've been reading some books published decades ago but only fairly recently available in Kindle format. Some of them have tons of typos in them. How could those be introduced? I would think they'd already be in a computerized version or at worst case could be scanned in. These were best sellers btw.

I believe in the typo fairy, myself.
But, in the cases you cite, they were probably shoved up online by some overworked, underpaid minion somewhere with a quota to meet who didn't bother with the vast, time-consuming, and unrewarding tedium of proofreading it all again.
Commenters with experience in these matters are invited to chime in.

(but I think by saying you weren’t sure what Moravian meant you already answered my question. Sorry! I just could not stop thinking about a planet that seems very Christian in their makeup and yet were so radically socially progressive about gender and sex, and the herm population always made me think of them. question mark to satisfy the ask-field-robot)?
