Personally, I find the "proof reading" mode too much work to be worth it. What I do, export the book to HTML, convert it to LRF and put it in my reader. Then I read the book (I would have done that anyway, so no extra work at all), bookmarking all pages with errors. When I finish the book, I simply fix all found errors. Much easier than using the proof mode, IMHO.

A normal book - as you say 400 pages - can take you from hours to days!!!

With my method, it takes (the time to read the book) + (a few hours - usually two to three for a common paperback book). And I can't really count the (time to read the book), since the reading part is why I scanned the book in the first place.
