Anyway, it's full of very good OCRed/proofread/well-formatted versions on eMule
Well, I can scan a chapter of Harry Potter in about 45 secs. The Scansnap only costs $300 (Newegg price) and comes with the full version of Adobe and software that can convert to Word, Excel, or other desirable formats. From there, I basically format the book to fit the reader and I'm ready in a couple days with me reading and doing the scanning.

I know other scanners are out there, but I wanted cheap, home use, and easy to be the 3 main considerations.

BTW, I've almost gone paperless in my files now with the Scansnap and I can find things so much easier!
