Why don't people who do this have a scanner that outputs text. [/ QUOTE ] Because it's a lot faster to take pictures most likely, unless you have some really fancy (expensive) scanner that is specifically made for books.

Yeah a lot of OCR is pretty much teh suck. [/ QUOTE ] you don't need to scan this OCR to do a better job then this though, just regular scan as an image would suffice I Downloaded it as well, it seems legit enough since I mean what did they find like 10 copies of the last one in a field somwhere? anyway the reason that it may not be is where is a picture of the cover

Can you ballpark the ways in which it might be harder to scan an entire book into text than it would be to scan an individual sheet of paper?

[/ QUOTE ] Yeah, but even if you didn't want to ruin the binding, there are plenty of scanners that are quicker to use than digital cameras. I've had to scan in books before and it would probably take <45 minutes for this book.

[/ QUOTE ] I think it's fair to say that the average scanner would take longer than 45 minutes to scan a 600 page book, while the time it would take with a camera will be pretty much the same across models.
