Hi All:

I would like to start scanning some magazine articles so that I can load them onto my Sony PRS-300. My needs are not great, I'll be using Sigil to convert the txt documents (and photos) into an Epub book. I looked at some Flatbeds for around $100.00, but since I own a good digital SLR camera, I wanted some information about a software only option. I saw ABBYY FineReader 9.0 Express Edition, for $49.00, but it does not seem to have a trial version of this product. Does anybody use this? Is their anything else I should be looking at? Not looking to spend a ton of money as I will only use this to convert an occasional magazine or newspaper article. Thanks,

Kevin
