Scanner for academic books

Hello,
I have got an Iliad and plan to buy some 9x Serie Pocketbook e-reader. I use my Iliad mostly for recreational reading but I am planning on taking more profesional approach and read on them more books for my studies. I have no problem with getting the books at beginning of semster from the library but I must give them back after 2-3 weeks and later on before the exam there is no chance for getting them from the library. Until now I just copied all of the essential parts so that I could repeat reading it later. I would love to scan those parts and have them in electronic form on my reader. Have you got any experience with scanning technical documents (I study computer science) and reading them. I could spend on a good scanner with good software about 200 - 300 Euro (I live in Germany). I need relatively speedy one, that could scan the books without much correctures afterwards and software that would create one pdf document that is not huge. The creation of small "one pdf" documents is essential as most of the scanners that I see make those huge pdfs for each size separately. I know that is the problem with software and I could get some pricey software for any scanner but I would love the one with good software already on board.
Maybe that is not the best section for this questions, but it is somehow related more with "which one should I buy" then "workshop" part. I would be grateful for any suggestions.
