I am the same. I like the book to be exactly as the print version.
Now that I have Abbyy to do the OCR it has cut down enormously on the proofing, but it still takes ages. I make a special point
not to calculate how many hours this takes me.
What I really need (after a good duplex scanner) is a cheat sheet of regex to cut down the proofing. Unfortunately I struggle with that - my mind is Teflon when it comes to regex
