Is this work that does not have to be done for normal print? Is it work that has to be done separately for each ebook format? If so it seems like the solution is to design a better workflow, not do a ton of work. I can't believe that every ebook format is so wildly different from every other one that many hours of work has to be done for every format, given that it's already been done for one format.
Surely proofreading needs to be done for ANY format, including dead trees?
