Is this not also a question of e-reader capability?
I mean, right now I don't see any point in digitizing any of my books that contain large amounts of color illustrations - there's just no good way of looking at them. (Obviously, I', not thinking of my PC as an e-reader.)
Old paperbacks, on the other hand, are perfect candidates - black & white, easily scanned, don't care if they're trash afterwards. Out the door they go ...
Also, considering how expandable the Iliad's memory is, I don't even bother with OCR - as others have pointed out, it's way too much work.
