Yes, you can scan and OCR for way over 2 decades already.

I've done both. I'd rather pay for the CD because none of the compressed online formats are as pure as the old fashioned CD.. Those MP3 versions are hollow compared to the lossless CD rendering. It gets annoying after a while, especially at low bitrates. I call it "MP3 fatigue" The same goes for OCR'ed books. Tirose OCI7 errcrs can be anroying after a while!
...and since compaines like B&N are killing ability to routinely sideload, I am going back to old fashioned paperback for quality and reliability! This digital technology isn't always what it's cracked up to be!
