When the layout is right, then I edit it to enter the text. And then I proof read it, and edit it to correct any typos etc.

And for another example I've often edited ePub books designed by others to correct typos and other mistakes.

If one has a basic knowledge of HTML and stylesheets it is easy to edit ePub ebooks.
Mobis are just as easy if you extract the html with Mobiunpack.
