LordVader717 Ever scanned a whole book on a consumer-grade A4 scanner? Not a very fun way to spend a Saturday morning, I can assure you.

I do it all the time. It's not the scanning that's the long tedious part. It's the manual proofreading. But i save the proofreading for weekends and hey, it's my intention to digitize my entire personal library and not have to worry about space and I can keep my books FOREVER.

Think about it. No more having to buy books. Just check out your favorite books from the library (sometimes i have to use ILL interlibrary loans because my library system doesn't have it), digitize them as well as your own personal collection you've built up and you can then sell off your physical collection and have your books digitally FOREVER!! Most times i don't even have to do any scanning because it's already on the web somewhere. hehehe
