Thanks Rosana.
Levy has a point. If OCR becomes as easy as plugging in an iPod, Publishers will start to get afraid, or as sue-happy as the MPAA/RIAA.

Personally, am beginning to see scanning my own books as nothing worse than ripping "my music" to a hard drive. Of course, doing so requires a week's worth of scanning at best.
