I'm thinking of trying to just razor apart my paperbacks and put them through my ADF on my work machine.

I have an old favorite that I'd desperately like as an ebook and a new book I bought a few weeks ago that is printed in such an absurdly small font that it is unreadable for me. I'll have to pick up a few cheapie used paperbacks and test out how well this works, especially as the new one was $20 and I don't want to destroy it for nothing. I don't mind the tedium of proof-reading even a not-so-great OCR copy, but couldn't bear scanning manually having to turn the page and press down the book.
That is what we have boyfriends for.
