Suitable for scanning books? Followed by conversion to PDF-book.

I sent the scanner back, it was not user friendly and I often needed to re-scan because of low quality. Don't waste your money.

I have used it for scanning crochet patterns from magazines without problems but have not scanned books.

It could be done, but there are far better scanners for scanning books. It's great for small things like business cards or a small image on a page, but not whole pages. As l said it could be done, but you would go insane.

From my knowledge, I don't believe a pdf reader comes standard on the Q, but I do think there are 3rd party programs which make your e-books work

Sven Golly, does it not do scan to PDF anymore? My old one (I'm looking for a replacement) used to go directly to PDF and after copy-paste, you could edit the text.

I typically use photos of documents for my text conversions and I find the quality of the table scan depends depends on the quality of the photo input. if the photo is slightly out of focus the ocr output is poor. A scanner should be better quality than some photos so it should work.

It converts text to PDF, which is convertible. Not sure what else you want it to do. It's a great unit. The 5000 is a better, long term, purchase

I scanned hundreds of school work documents on my iMac G5 PowerPC - OSX Leopard in 2009 and I believe I used some online service to convert everything from image to pdf. Because I wanted my school documents specifically stored as PDF; but I guess I should have kept jpg for the google automatic photo backup.

Pretty good. Can do single or multiple page scans. Quality choices are okay.

Sorry, I have only been able to scan single pages. What I do is, open the files, copy paste in Word or Power Point and then save as PDF

No, you can't scan several pages as one doc, but PDF pages can be merged into one file.

The answer to your question is No. Your Scans are saved as PDF or JPG on to a Scan Disc then transferred to your Computer. You then name or Label the PDF/ JPG.Items can then be sorted inside the folder as you would any collection of files.You might be able to scan Business Cards (if you're clever) but I think a Plastic DL would be too thick, and the slick surface would give you trouble.

This comes with scanning software. It can also convert receipts and scanned documents to text for editing.Very user friendly as well.

Yes. I do it all the time. Just scanned in an 8 page document last night. That has more to do with software than the hardware and the software that comes with the scanner works well.

You can convert PDF files using "CSD mTrans" wich is available at the cowon website, it basically turns .pdf's into pictures and it only takes a few seconds/minutes.

I have used it only on books in good condition, but I agree that while the scanner has not done any damage, bending the spine of the book to get the best possible scan would.

Chromebook OS supports PDF files but does not accept Adobe Reader. Chromebooks require a Wifi connection and Google docs and Slides are very effective subs for Word and PPoint

yes, you can scan to pdf in color or black and white -- either to your computer or to a portable memory device

I found merging pages post scan with Nitro PDF or Adobe PDF (check the User Manual of ScanSnap).
