I have been thinking about how neat it would be to be able to create our own books that are not available in Logos format but are available in public domain.
Does a person have to have any kind of special coding skills etc? I can see where it would be much easier to convert them from an already electronic file such as .pdf but what about hardback books? I am especially interested in the writings on one of my denominations early founders writings but it is about 450 pages long in hard back book. Would most of the time required be trying to scan it or would that only be the beginning of something I should ultimately avoid? I believe that I can also get the book in .pdf format.
One last question, if it looks as if it would be to difficult for me to do personally, are there any businesses or individuals who do it for a reasonable per page fee (assuming it is ethical and within the license agreement for the owner of the PBB builder)?
Thanks.
