I've just started to re-read it again and have discovered how spoiled my kindle has made me. Crisp text at a font size I choose, what a great idea. My old eyes are not enjoyed reading the text in this pocket book.

You're most welcome. I can say that some of the ppl around here who have used $1DollarScan seem happy with it, although I wouldn't consider it for production (I have an eBook-making company, to clarify). We use Golden Images (
www.pdfdocument.com) exclusively; Stan's scans (say that 5x fast) are simply the best in the biz. Also--if you know how to mess with ePUB--Stan will, at almost no extra cost, put the scanned product into ePUB format for you, but be advised, that's "wcoiwyg," or "what comes out is what you get." I suppose you could put the ePUB into the Calibre editor, and do a fast convert to MOBI format, either with Kindlegen or Calibre, and then, as you come to errata on your reader, fix it in Calibre's (or Sigil's) editor. It's a thought, although, if you're just reading it, it's a lotta effort.
