Wow!
I really appreciate your comments - lots to digest there.
I won't be downloading from bit torrent - I'm a freelance developer and work a lot with media stuff so I'm cautious about copyright issues - I would - in a layman's way - agree with Xenophon about the legal issues.
I'm also mainly going to be doing the books as I find them. They've been locked in boxes in various garages for around 10 years and one of the reasons for the project is that many are now too 'foosty' (smelly) to read comfortably now.
I've had surprisingly good results (well the surprised me) from Iris software which came with my HP multi-function device, but I will most certainly check out the Abby products.
Finally, I'll check out the Distributed Proofreaders site. I think the most uncertain thing for me is finding a decent ADF scanner. I don't have 2 years to stand in front of a flatbed, however good the results may be!
Thanks
Iain
