I have quite a few i'd like to convert to ebooks. As you know, unfortunately, there are just some books that aren't available in ebooks. Honestly i don't want any paper books anymore. My biggest concern is that i want to be able to read my ebooks on every device. Sure the pdf they send me might look fine on my ipad but will they look ok on my iphone or other devices. I much prefer epub.

I started trying to do it myself with a fujitsu scansnap but it was just do dang messy and time consuming. I used my sliding miter saw and the dust it would throw out was amazing. All that dust was going into my scansnap when i scanned the pages (and since they aren't cheap) i don't want to do that anymore

Unless someone can give me other options i plan to use 1dollarscan. Should i just invest in a copy of Abby FineReader? Will Abby Finereader do a fine job in most cases without manual editing? Hopefully the quality of 1dollarscan is great without the "upgrades".
