and i still have a number of paper books left over (recipes, university text books, medical books, references). i would like to digitize some of these before donating them. and speaking of donating paper books, i found out that A LOT of organizations (including public libraries) wouldn't even accept them. only Good Will stores that specialize in carrying books would accept what i had to offer.

I was halfway teasing. I am in the process of making my cookbook collection more user friendly. Even 25-30 books get heavy at moving them 1 at a time.
All the Goodwills around here have books. (This is not such a good thing if one collects cookbooks. At $1 or less each, great prices but now I need to revamp so I can actually find a book.)
