I don't really agree.
If you already need to do this for a P book, it also needs to be done for an ebook.
Even with a pbook there exists an electronic version, that in itself is (supposed to be) complete.
Creating an ebook from there only is a matter of 30-60 minutes.
My record stays at creating 5 ebooks per hour in LRF.

Since LRF is very limited in possibilities (Title,subtitle, Italic, and Bold text, optional picture here or there), it won't take lots of time to create a conversion.
Most of the time one has a standard set of settings one uses to create a book anyways.
