Moonraker,
I've found that a quick proof of the scanned pages in FR and then a once through in MS Word for grammar and spelling works for the worst errors. The I read it on my Palm-TX as the final proof. This way I can catch the small errors, mark them on the Palm and go back to the Word file to correct the master copy.
Doing it this way, I can enjoy reading the book and also get a good proff reading done.
