I don't see what the problem is. He just did the scan in a slightly unorthodox way. After all, a copier is in effect a scanner, and the pages were simply sent to a computer in a certain file format that was then converted to an OpenBook file. How is that different from scanning the book with K1000, for instance, then converting the book into rtf format for submission?

Hmmm. I don't know much about copyright law, or how it applies to books being copied into pdf files, but I do know from working in a school--and least I think I know--that copyrighted books and articles can be copied for educational use only--and then, although teachers do it when there's a dearth of textbooks to go around, I don't think whole books are supposed to be copied--just pages. That may be a problem. And you brought up a good worthwhile discussion, so don't be sorry. smile Cindy"This book was not scanned. It was taken through a copier with a setting not common to all copiers of making copies of all pages into a PDF file. The PDF was converted into an Ark file using Openbook's Freedom Import Printer. The entire process did not take much more than half an hour, as compared to the hours it usually takes to scan a book page by page. This method should be considered by other members of the Bookshare community." Thanks.
