When you say 'scanning the paperbacks' do mean (I guess this is obvious) running them through a scanner and saving each page as an image? Lots of scanners have an OCR facility so that you end up with a text file instead of an image. This is probably fiddly to get right but you'd be able to end up with something you could turn into whatever format you wanted (pdf, mobi etc). You could expect some 'typos' because OCR isn't perfect but that might be better than images.
