Most writers are not experts in IT or formatting and would rather spend time writing. Self publishing is really self marketing. Traditional publishers are really marketing companies, few do their own proofing, editing and printing, traditionally a Press. Volume paper printing is now mostly China and Eastern Europe. For small numbers of paper copies it’s best value to use a  Print on demand (POD) company.

Authors that want help with formatting and eBook conversion can contact Booknook.biz as we only deal with some local people face to face.
