I was going to make a separate post about it but anyway here goes:
scanner mouse which allows easy scanning, has OCR included. You can apparently scan text, save it as Word and voila, edit or whatever. I would then put it into calibre immediately -> epub, mobi. Will buy it for husband methinks (ok, I admit, I have some sinister plans about it too)

there are also films on youtube if you put LG LSM-100 (or Google, of course)
