I started this about 4 years ago, and I had no clue on any of that. NO CLUE. You should have seen the mess I made of the first book. But quite a bit of reading, experimenting and it started to sink in. Then came across this forum, and picked up even more pointers from the very helpful members here.
Now about 500+ books later, I can do it in my sleep... almost. A somewhat clean book can be fixed within half an hour, but some books are a total mess and can take a few hours.
As for having time... what is the rush? Do you have a deadline that requires you to rush these books into distribution? Slow down, understand what it is you are doing, and you will save yourself quite a bit of stress and frustration when things aren't working out.

There is no rush actually, but family, job and sports are taken a big chunk of my precious free time. So the desire for a magic bullet fix is there. But I guess some ebooks need more work than others. Fortunately the ebooks from the stores are pretty decent formatted nowadays. I still remember the time when ebooks looked really horrible on ereaders back in 2010. Let's hope that one day the ereader will do this task all by themselves, no matter what ebook format style you throw at them.
