I have done this for a couple of books, and decided that despite being a tolerably good touch-typist, the pain was too much. With respect to the time taken, I've found that it's the "editorial" processes required *after* acquiring a digital text that are time consuming. (layout, chapter management, images, front and end matter as well as proof-reading). I'll be experimenting with using my digital camera for the job in the not-too-distant future - I have some aged pbacks that *have* to be digitised before they disintegrate!
