I've invested in a Czur Scanner for those books I want to keep and re-read from time to time which are not available as ebooks. It makes the process of scanning so much easier, and the OCR is very good. Nevertheless it is not something I want to do often.
To digress slightly from the topic, it would be nice if copyright law was modified to allow the not for profit sharing of scanned works where the book concerned is out of print with no present plans for an ebook. Perhaps by way of statutory licence with payment of a statutory royalty. Sadly, as things stand there are many works which may well not make it to ebook. It is a similar problem to abandoned works which I understand has been a prominent issue with retro games titles.
