Thanks for the reply.

I have tried OCR and I'm prepared to do some that way but the problem is that the text, when saved and re-loaded into a word-processor or text editor, loses all the paragraph structure. I'd be better off typing the whole thing in manually!

I can achieve a reasonably good result by creating jpg images but they then lose readability by pasting into a document. I've tried playing around with images sizes and paper layout, removing margins, etc., but I'm struggling to find the optimum conditions.

Given the CyBook is approx. the size of a paperback I'm sure there is a solution.

p.s. I've found that the CyBook will not read pdf files created with anything other than Adobe. This means that software like openoffice or other freeware pdf creators are, annoyingly, not catered for.
