A few technical comments:
- The recordings are mono, but you've saved them as stereo. You could significantly reduce file sizes, without any loss of quality, if you saved them as mono (you do still have the uncompressed originals?)
- You have sub-sonic noise (I think this is the side effect of noise reduction, or other editing). Doesn't do much harm, but you might use a high-pass filter to get rid of anything below, for instance, 50 Hz?
- There are those unavoidable little noises and clicks that can only be properly dealt with by manual editing, probably not worth the effort.

All in all, great work!
(And, epub looks fine, but PDF ... but that's not what you've asked anyone's opinion of ...)
Thank you for the tip on mono. Decreasing the size will be a good benefit. I don't save the original recordings, but I have the WAV files, edited and normalized. Should be easy to try a mono conversion.

Thank you for the tip on the high-pass filter for the low frequency noise. I wonder how low my voice goes. I wouldn't want to cut off any of those good vibrations.-)

So far I haven't edited using headphones, but if you're finding unacceptable noises that I'm missing, maybe it's time to start. Dang, I was hoping to avoid that level of anality.
