Well, guys, I may be a little crazy, but I took my used Harry Potter books, cut the pages out of the binding and scanned them with my ScanSnap. This little scanner is great for converting books to ebooks for fair use. Since I scanned all of the Harry Potter books for my Sony Reader (my kids share one of their own) we have collectively read the series about 6 or 7 times (3 readers). However, I'm the first to admit that it is sooo much easier to buy the Twilight books and the Dark Tower already formatted and ready to go.

Bottom line is, if a want a book in ebook format, for my own personal use, I'll scan it if it's now available legally.

With the recent release of the Lord of the Rings, I've taken that set off mine "scan" list and put it on my "wish list."!! Also, I'll get the maps and pictures - Yeah!
