With openbook 8 and below, it took me 3 hours just to scan the book and another hour to process the book. With the pearl now, you know what? I yet haven't scan that much paper. But from what I have worked with the machine I would guess an hour tops (maybe a little more if I need to re-scan some pages). But to be honest, I don't find the job anoying. In fact, I kind of like it. One thing I like of using the pearl is that if it is a novel I am scanning I love to start readding almost imediately.

That makes the whole process a lot easier. I have no problem scanning te book by myself specially since the pearl camera tripples my speed.

Many times publishers will send a textbook as a Word document or PDF file if you or the instructor contacts them. That is one strategy I have been using lately. I am sure you are aware of RFB and D. They have a large audio textbook library. Unfortunately, it is not a perfect solution but they will often have the book you are looking for. Other than that it is back to the wonderful process of scanning page after page or paying someone else to do it.

If you want to buy the book then contact them directly and ask to buy an accessible format of the book. I don't believe there are any accessible E-Text books and the Kindle is inaccessible, so you'll either have to weasel out a PDF, .doc, html or rtf version of the book, or have the publisher join a book-sharing sight like Bookshare.org then get the book off of there. please if anyone else has another way can you share? This is a really ineffective way of getting books and I don't have time to scan my own...
