I think the idea is to automate it. I've use scanners and it can be troublesome aligning the page and whatnot. I saw an automated scanner that was built using legos. I dunno, it's a start but I like the idea of having a dedicated scanning section. I have a lot of old books I wouldnt mind having as digital. Even if I have to do OCR and error-correction, I don't mind depending on the books.


I have a series of 1930's era technical and engineering books I would love to have on my reader.
