I most sincerely doubt that people who are posting 5 and more ebooks daily are actually comparing them word for word to a real book to correct mistakes before finalizing and uploading. Or maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean by "hand checked."

I believe most of their books come from Gutenberg. In fact, I believe most of the free public domain books available on the internet come from Gutenberg.

It's my understanding that the Distributed Proofreaders works with Project Gutenberg. I can't say that I've ever sat down and compared a real book line by line with a Gutenberg text, but the Gutenberg books I've read seem fine to me. Very good in fact.
