It's not a scan, though. It already has the text and images actually embedded (if that's the right word) in the PDF. OCR would just be copy/paste. And I don't have time to correct the dozens of articles I'd need to read (especially because, ideally, I'd only be reading them once while summarizing them).
I just wanted to be able to use the Scribe's features that can only be used in e-books, like writing notes by hand in the middle of the text (as opposed to on top of the text or with the keyboard) and going through pages with a single touch (small thing, but useful). Sadly, it seems like that's just not happening.
Thank you both for the help, though. I'll make do with what I've got.
