I have dust and mold allergies so old books can make me literally sick.
My wife has many, many sewing, quilting, and other needlecraft books that no longer have to be jammed together since many of my pbooks are gone.

The problem for her books is that the diagrams are multicolored and do not reproduce well on the Sony (also too small) in the experiments we have tried.

Please get back to us on the results you achieve with the digitizing of your books. She would be thrilled if there was an (easy) way to do this for her books.
