I know that proof reading is a necessity, and that it must be done thoroughly if it should be of any good at all. Also formatting of the book must be done manually. The OCR program is no good at wrapping special parts of text so that they wrap in a decent way with various font sizes/screen sizes.
But as my countryman SBT points out, it should be done for fun, and therefore the more errors are auto detected, the less interruption in the reading experience while proof-reading, and the more fun it is.
Besides: as a software man, I know that there always are, and always will be, bugs in any file, software code or html pages. While proof-reading, you find and correct maybe 98% of these. But the remaining 2% goes by undetected. If using some tool to find errors and highlight them, you might be able to find 99% of the errors.
