@@noruparry sure, i’ve done a few large hardcover books this way, and it was similar to the process shown. Of course I did this years ago so what I remember is tearing it group by group as hard covers are kind of in chunks grouped together. I would separate the pages that look like they were held together as groups after ripping off the hardcover and spine backing to weaken the glue. I would separate the bunch and just kind of tear it off the glue, etc. then chop off the gluey end. Again, only did it a few times for a couple of books that I wanted to preserve, and it was a long time ago, but it was totally scannable in the end. Hopefully that helps.

I’m with you there

That was the point. Think about it...

I believe it's around Cape Disappointment

I have seriously tried this once. No one wanted it. Honestly!

@@yellowbench1158 Too bad. It worked for me. I did this for textbooks. I think you are doing it for novels. Novels are considerably cheaper than textbooks. If a book costs less than $10, I have found it is just not worth re-selling.

@@ninjanerdstudent6937 I can see that working for textbooks.. and what a great idea too!

@@yellowbench1158 Looseleaf textbooks are always cheaper than bound textbook, so you may as well give the books another life. Supposedly, you could have rigged your novels in some way to donate it to an indigent school in your area. Let someone else have a chance to read. It just looks so wasteful to recycle or discard it.

@@yellowbench1158 I noticed you use iBooks. I suggest you use Notability which allows you to highlight and write in the margins. It's really one of the only good paid-apps, as well as Scanner Pro. They were both free apps-of-the-week many years ago. Notability also does an auto-backup of all your books and notes to a cloud drive of your choice, and it has saved me because iCloud once deleted all my books and notes, but I recovered it.

What are the other steps? 👀

Bored people are boring

Among other things..

You’re so very welcome!

Sure, if you don't mind taking a picture of each page and then finding software to combine each picture into PDFs, putting all the files into one for book form. I'm sure it can be done, not saying it's impossible. If you find a great working solution I'd love to know.

Hey Doug-E-Fresh! I think this video has started a societal upheaval as I've challenged the norms of how one just might enjoy a good book. Much like our political landscape, people either hate this video or they think, "It's OK I guess." And there is another unintended affect it has on people... the part where I rip a book drives them wild OR the fact that I had it in my heart and soul to completely waste 15 mins of their precious COVID quarantine lives. As you can see to this day it's still hard for me to "just get to the point" hehe.. see? Extremely polarizing. Regardless, it's been fun over the years to either help people out with their scanning questions or banter about what an evil time-wasting book-ripper I am. 😈

Yellow Bench The funny part was I was searching for how to do that and I found your video and as soon as I started watching it I bust up laughing. I was like hey I know that guy

@@DougLarsonVideoThat is funny because I did this from a convo we had years ago to just make a video about something so it's genesis came form you. haha (Hey everyone, this guy is to blame!) Others have recommended to skip ahead to 7:25 so feel free. I made another video as a followup to that about making the text searchable and selectable as well.

Yellow Bench I get blamed for everything. 😳

@@DougLarsonVideo Haha, well it's nice to know I'm up in search results although I don't make a dime, etc. Are your videos killing it? Hope you are excellent

Gerald Baez the point was right there in the title 😂

For the greater good

that's right, world on my plate

Phuong it now lives in iPad heaven with the rest of the collection, peacefully.

Thanx

thank you. I got mine from Amazon

You're almost 5 years and 196 comments late with that tip.

So you can digest it.

But what about the people who thanked me for showing them "the whole thing?" Ripping up books is a can-o-worms either way so I felt I had to defend it for the greater good. Would I do it differently now? Sure, but that was me like a 5 years ago. I would feel worse about it if there wasn't a way to jump ahead a bit, which YT does provide.

ScanSnap ix500. Not sure if they make that one anymore.

It scans through quickly, imo. When I was scanning a lot I was just eyeballing like a ¼ inch stack of pages at a time without thinking too hard. Once you get into it goes fast and done before you know. The scanning SW puts it all together for you as long as you scan in order. Once you identify a scanner you want you can look up it's specific details easily enough.

@@yellowbench1158 but how many pages can it fit because my books are 300 pages to 500pages can i stack all of them at once and it will scan them or do i have to do it in intervals of 20 pages at a time which means i would have to keep loading the scanner and loading it for hours.

@@billwilliams6338 I've done plenty that large.. doesn't take hours. Even 25~ pages at a time you'd be surprised once you get in the rhythm how fast it goes. I'm talking minutes. There are faster scanners out there I'm sure but for my price point it's fast enough for me. I just did a few a day until it was done. I could do a 300 pg book in less than 10 min. 15 if including the cutting. You should time it on the video to see how fast the pages shoot through. Once that stack is done just pop in another and hit the blue button and it picks right up. You only have to go back to the PC screen when it's complete to name it, etc. If the stack is too thick you'll feel it as not all pages go in so you hold it for the round. For me it's sort of zen so I'm not timing it.

@@yellowbench1158 when looking at a scanner specification where do you find the FAST TIME like how long it takes to scan in a page what is that called in the scanner specs? Because my HP scanner take for ever to scan pages and i can only do 10 to 20 pages at time autofeeding it which is a pain to scan a book. I'm trying to find a scanner that will scan 300 to 500 pages at once and autofeeds it for me and scans really really fast. I didn't see in your video a scanning TRAY that can hold 300 to 500pages because alot of time the scanner will get stuck and clogged from scanning to many pages in the tray when autofeeding it. But I'm trying to find a cheap scanner that can scan fast and can scan books 500pages. Do you know any scanners that can do this please?

@@billwilliams6338 Sorry, I'm not aware of any cheap scanners that will take 300+ pages at a time.

On a Mac it's a drag and drop affair using Preview. Are you using Windows? I'm sure it can be done but I'm not as familiar.

you shouldn't date teens

Sara The Persian Kitty they discontinued that model but it was a couple hundred. The pages go quick so 500 pages would be minutes.
