          I notice you have a great collection of materials, what is your take on the best way to collect such a library or “El Paso Atheanaem” ? With a limited budget what are some good strategies?

          Are there any good book scanning options? I have considered hiring a youngster to scan a bunch of my books to .pdf and throw them on an iPad.

          I know there are varying options like
          – online services: https://www.blueleaf-book-scanning.com/book_scanning_service_order.html
          – personal hardware hardware options ranging from $200 to $20,000: https://plustek.com/usa/products/opticbook-series/ or https://diy.atiz.com/

          What is the solution here? I want 20 books on iPad and they’re not available on kindle or google books. Then what?
