(My epubs come out great!)
Sorry for hijacking the thread, but how long does it take you to do an entire paperback? How are you scanning?

The only way I see to do this with any speed is to take apart the book so the pages could be put through an ADF instead of having to turn the pages and flatten the book each time. Is that what you're doing or do you have an alternative?

Thanks,
Marcy
