Of course, you still have to go to the trouble of scanning your book, spread by spread or page by page, depending on the book size and your scanner. Way back in the late 90s I used to scan my books and use an OCR program to turn them into digital files that I could read on my Palm Pilot. It was laborious.

Still, for $19 I might try it out. I have a few old books I'd love to read on my devices for which no e-book exists.
well I purchased the software and I am almost finished with my first book.

I have a bunch of old text files that were old books that were not for sale anywhere and to be able to format and ship it to my Amazon book cloud is wonderful! it is a plodding process...
