I've had my scanner two weeks, and finished scanning and OCRing (to a standard of "pretty good", not a standard of "absolutely flawless") my 39th book last night.
Back when I was trying to justify to myself buying the scanner, I had to ask if I had enough books I wanted in digital form that I already had in paper that, when I divide the number of books by the price of the scanner, I get a price I thought was reasonable. So far $224 / 39 means it has cost me around $5.75 for each digital copy. I hope, in the long term, to push that price at least below $2 and maybe below $1 before the scanner dies. (How many pages should I reasonably expect to get out of the lifetime of a scanner?)
