OK so for a typical fiction novel that is somewhere between 300 and 500 pages how long is it going to take me to scan it and turn it into an ePub? Can anyone who routinely does this share? I expect I would be a bit slower to start with but a rough guide would be fine.

This is a serious question as I have never considered doing this as I imagined it would take forever.
