But Solitaire1 does have a point. Precisely because computers can't always spot errors, you probably DO need a human involved somewhere in the process. For cases where the book is already in an electronic form and just needs to be converted to an ebook, maybe little to no human intervention is needed. But for other cases, such as old books that have to be scanned, it seems to me you'd pretty much have to have a human help proofread it.
