Thank you Lady Fitzgerald. I'll be sure not to use a saw. A bookseller friend of mine who has a guillotine will be happy to cut the spines off the books for me. My problem is similar to yours in that I moved from a 5 room house in Australia to a 3 room flat in Paris and space is running out for books. The PDF feature also seems the right way to go since there is no OCR for Chinese and Japanese which I also read.
By the way Tomsk, have you tried cutting and scanning in an average paperback yet? I would be interested to know the time taken and the quality of the resulting PDF file. How big was the file of the 270 page colour manual you scanned and was the colour satisfactory?
