thanks all, for the input on the memory cards -- apparently I enthusiastically jumped in over my head (we can pretend that I've never done that before!)

I have realized that although I've been scanning and pdf-ing forever, I'm super novice at it -- have always just worked with the scanned books as images, hence many of my problems. I'm wrestling with the Readiris that I have, learning OCR things as quickly as possible....

And yes, my CYA position is buying ebook formatted guidebooks. I'm only in this situation because I'm a bit of a reference fiend, so have 10 or 20 guides (buy them used from ABE.com, where the book is $1 and the shipping is $4 to $5!). And a few brand new ones...

Well, we shall see. I still have 2 weeks, and not that much work to get done (have my own business, and this is slow season), so will forge onwards!

thanks for all the help, please keep any creative ideas coming!
