Thanks for the replies. I respect y'all's work. Your comments mirror my beginning attempts: the PG books require proofing, and that takes time. Doing a proper ePub markup takes time - cleaning out the junk, mainly. Images add a lot, and are worth including, but often involve a fair bit of work to get to "publication quality".
So far it's about 40 hours of work for me to take an "average" PG book, clean it up and proofread it against another text, insert markup, clean up and insert images, and check the whole thing over. It's tough for me to think of doing many books at that rate, although I would like to.
How long, on average, does a book take for you?
