Yes indeed the SF collection does need some work.
But it is getting better!

I have a friend who told me of signing up with BookShare because of its sf
and fantasy. Eagerly waiting to read books in the collection, my friend
downloaded several titles only to find them rendered unenjoyable because of
gibberish and scanno static. I would hate to think that there might become
a two-track system with school-oriented texts being excellent and the rest
hit or miss.
