Relax, DixieGal. It's as easy or as hard as you want to make it. If you download a text from Gutenberg and just strip our the legaleze at the beginning and end, it can take as little as 5 minutes once you've set up the tool you want to use. If you add a nice Table of Contents or illustrations or fix some formatting issues, it can take longer. I've spent up to 8 hours on one but that's only because I had the time to spend and felt that it would be useful to do so and I rather enjoyed doing it, too. Usually, it's an hour or two for me. Don't do more than you want to because it's always possible to turn an effort into a chore that's unpleasant.
