I have been scanning books to pdf. files.

Not OCR...just image pdf’s. They are large files but with
huge HDs and cheap 32gb micro SD cards I can have a lot of books with me on a tablet.

I also enjoy movies on my 7” tablet. Holding it in my hands the image is much larger than the 42” TV across the room.

What’s not to like :-)

How do you do that?
I myself would OCR them, because any book in PDF I have is a reference book, and I need the word search and highlight feature.

To add to the discussion, I do not yet have a kindle, just Kindle for the PC, and I have no desire for a reader swiss army knife. Just downloading andreading for me. No web browsing, no apps no texting, nothing but reading. Ideally a large screen with no texting keys would suit me (no such animal yet).
