HI Carrie,
It's pretty amazing how quickly you can scan and recognize a book. I love to
hear the sound of electronics and scanner gear humming away. I have both
options here now both an adf and flat bed. Both have their place in getting
books done. The flat bed is letting me get a lot of books from the library
now, they don't really like you chopping up their books, LOL:-)

Yes, you're right. Despining a book takes a few minutes, scanning it takes
a few minutes, running the OCR program takes a bit longer, maybe 15 minutes
for a 500 page book (currently). That's how I did the last Harry Potter book
so fast. Gustavo handed me the book at 9am, and by 11, I had chopped,
scanned and OCRed it (this was when the OCR program took much longer to
finish). At 11:30, when I was validating the Harry Potter book, he came in
and said he was getting phone calls from people saying "Where's the book?".
I said I wasn't done validating it, so he said "Upload it anyway. You can
make it perfect in a couple of days." I uploaded it, he approved it, and
within 2 minutes, the first person started downloading it. In the next 36
hours, 250 people downloaded it. When the next (and final) Harry Potter
book comes out on July 20th, I'm going to try to make it perfect (within a
reasonable amount of time, of course) before uploading it. We shall see if
I succeed or not.

Oh my gosh 80 to 100 pages per minute. That is so
fast! No wonder you are able to submit so many books
Carrie. Is that how you will be able to have the new
Harry Potter in the collection the same day it is
released? It is too bad that publishers won't send you
the copies early like they do to people who review
their books.
