Absolutely. I've been buying quite a few ebooks from Baen, they're one of my favorite publishers. When I started, they weren't available yet, and this is more to see what's involved & what the challenges are.
The biggest issue that I see doing a manual conversion is paragraph flow. OCR has gotten pretty good, and I'm not seeing anywhere near the number of errors that I thought I would.
@Halk, I do recommend these books. Leigh Brackett wrote the script for the first Star Wars movie before she died, it was her last work. I first read these books as a child, but have never been able to find coppies again. A couple of years ago, I stumbled on in at Powell's Books & I couldn't resist.
