Okay, well, I intend to do just that, dive in with a book. Maybe it is overwhelming to some, but I have no trouble with typing. Besides which, I don't know how to make my scanner's text-recognition software run, so... I assume that (save typos) there will be less proofing required of a work which is typed as opposed to one which is scanned, anyway.
It's not clear to me that typing in a book requires less proofing than one that is scanned and OCRd, but it may require a different sort of proofing. However, if you find that you are running out of steam with retyping your books, I'd like to point out that Distributed Proofreaders (http://www.pgdp.net) also has an OCR pool, so that you can scan your books and let someone else do the OCR.
