My plan for books is to pull the rare/valuable ones, then subscribe for the $100/mo 100 book/mo plan at http://1dollarscan.com/ http://1dollarscan.com/ and send them all the rest, produce PDFs, and pulp the books. I have maybe 3000 books in storage and this would be preferable to anything else I've found, as I ultimately would rather consume them electronically.
- walterbell 7y ago1DS $100/month is about 30 books of ~300 pages (3+ "sets" of 100 pages, rounded up). Scanning is only worthwhile for books which are not already available in electronic form ... somewhere. If you bought from Amazon, there's sometimes an option to get the ebook cheaply. Archive.org has many books. There are also e-books at public libraries, so it may be enough to keep a list/photos/calibre of all your titles and discard rarely-accessed books.
