Add many, many hours more to that it you proof-read it and correct the numerous errors that are common in PG books.

Some people may prefer to pay someone else to do all that for them, don't you think?
GOOD POINT! I would gladly pay someone to do this instead of having to do it myself. It may be easy, but I'm just not into conversion, etc. I just want to load my books and read.

But the Kindle DOES have to be somewhere with a Wifi connection.....that might be what the OP meant.
