Again, just curious.

By his description, she did a lot more than proof it if it included significant rewriting. Could have been weeks or months of work.
Figure a couple hundred hours or more.
One thing that story does is highlight the legal position the IA faces: ebooks are a separate, derivative product from the print edition and require a separate license to distribute, regardless of how easy or hard to produce, whether ten hours or a thousand.
(Personal use is a different netherland; producing an ebook for *personal* use out of a pbook is *probably* legal as long as nobody else gets to use it. Copyright is about *distribution*.)
