OCR on a reader?
It seems to me that one feature missing from most ebook readers is the ability to snap a pic of a page (think of a cell phone camera) and then OCR the image into a usable ebook file.

Let's say I am the note taker at a meeting, and need to pass around a copy of a proposal someone brought in on paper. I could snap a pic, OCR it, proof read it, and send it to every other ebook reader by email, bluetooth, wifi, or usb.

I think the iPhone / iPad can do something similar to this. Can any other devices do this?
