This may sound stupid, but how do you get e-books on to your computer, apart from downloading them from kazza? If someone could post a "how to" guide (like in the other forums) it would be soooooo helpful! :rolleyes:

Thanks!

Well, if you don't download them off Kazaa (or another P2P network), there are a few websites that have them for download.

You can also scan your own books and OCR them, although it takes some time.

Thanks MN!!

I don't fancy scanning all of my books! It'll take about 20 years! :D
I'll just stick to kazza i think.

i have scaned a few books and it is a bit...... hard thing to do

first off they dont scan woth a damm unless u tear or cut out each page and lay them flat on the scaner so it destroys the book

and all so i used text bridge to OCR them and it had a lot of mistakes on a few of them but most of them worked all right it seemed to have troble with small text ons but did a good job on the books with reguler size text

my main problem with it was losing the book when i did it

where a palm is not bad it realy hard to curl up in bed with a good monitor so i still keep my books besides a lot of them are 1st editions all though there just paper backs i cant bring my self to destroy them
