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

Didn't try that application, but I can not imagine that would work well, the item is not easy to get a simple image to scan correctly. I would not recommend it for that purpose.

I suppose you could do a book, but this mouse is intended for scanning items you can lay flat on your desk: a newspaper article, extracts from a book, etc.. Make sure you don't move the object while you're scanning, avoid strange fonts, symbols, etc., and try to keep the mouse in the same orientation. I like it a lot, and use it fairly frequently, but I have a flatbed scanner for doing serious scanning, like a book.

Limited to scanning 8 1/2 x 11 at a time. I think Can be saved as PDF. Haven't done much with it yet.

The tool is good for scanning of pages. Books are not flat enough to scan and I can not recommend it for this purpose.

Yes, technically, though anything newspaper size is probaby impratical. After all, you need a computer connection to use the scanner, and even a laptop would prove too bulky a combination for comfortable use with something as large as a newspaper. A normal-size book, however, should present no problem more bothersome than finding a way to keep its pages spread while you scan.

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.

Download and run Calibre. This is a free program for both Windows and Linux. it has both a converter to/from mobi and most formats, as well as an uploader to your device. Calibre is a great program that really works both to organise your books and make them work with your device! r00t

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

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

I haven't tried that with the scanner, but I would assume so. There are also plenty of freeware out there that allows you to combine multiple images into one pdf document, etc

No you can scan one page at a time. There is a free window 8 app that will allow you to combine multiple pdfs into a single file.

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.

If I get any kindle books I convert them to epub using calibre on my computer and then I load them on to my Samsung galaxy tab sch-i800 and read them with Aldiko or nook. Aldiko is nice because it lets you customize the font and print size and nook is good because it lets you enlarge pictures or maps.

Yes it can! It scans either JPGs or PDFs and you can choose the resolution and quality before you scan.

Yes, of course. It scans anything in pdf format which you can then convert to a jpeg in the Scansnap program.

Probably, but I would not recommend. This model is very demanding about paper and source settings, and multiple users would trip constantly over that problem. In addition., you could probably not scan to software effectively.

You should be able to convert the non-DRM books with a PC app called Calibre (http://calibre-ebook.com/) to whatever format your e-reader software uses.

yes.... you and use a USB thumb drive and it will scan images to the drive for later use on your PC. Each page is saved as a jpg image which can be converted on your PC if necessary.

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.

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.
