I could never cut up my books. The few hardcovers I've scanned myself, I just put carefully on the flatbad, one page at the time. It took a bit more time, but in the end I had a good ebook and a still very good looking hardcover...
But I've been considering buying cheap copies and destroying that (same as you), but I doubt I ever could...  |
I would never cut up my own book. But int this case, I would buy another one and sacrifice that one. I think I could also scan it with my current scanner, without breaking the spine, but the book has like 400 pages and I am a lazy a.s
I just found a cheap used version of the book that I am searching. It costs like $4, without any shipping charges, so I consider this a bargain. However, I am still not sure if I really will sacrifice it, once I get it.
@DDHariman: I already heard about the Plustek 3600 and I am really interested in it. Currently I use an old Canon Scanner. The strange thing about that one: I use it since many years. Recently I got a new computer with Windows 7. I tried to install it but I found out that Canon did update their drivers to Windows 7. So currently I am using a generic driver called VueScan.
Once I have enough money, I will invest it in a scanner, but right now I am renovating a house that my parents own. Once that is finished I can move in, with my wife - who is 2nd month pregnant. So I am still pretty far away from getting a new scanner.
