I used to edit books with fanfold printouts and WordPerfect, so I'm familiar with the act. I find it quite sufficient to compile the text to HTML and read it in the browser, while editing the source. It gives the same shift of context from writing to editing, and it's more closely equivalent to hand-proofing galley prints, since it's in the form the audience ultimately sees. I would love an iPad app designed around the old-fashioned proof editing flow, using the stylus. I've never seen one and don't know if there's a market for it, but I'd use it every week.
