Dodging between files is a PITA when proofreading and speed isn't that important. Anyway it's me doing it - why should anyone care if I merge 20 chapter files into one, proofread and correct, and then split the corrected text back into the 20 chapter files again.
I maybe using the wrong term, the process I'm referring includes things like fact checking, plotline, voice and character consistency, grammar, spelling, style checking (as in Chicago, Cambridge...) etc. Copy/content/manuscript editing might be better terms.
There's more to a book than layout and typography - unless its a book on such
