SL intro to Religion ebook?

I'm not sure what ebook you all are referring to, but if it's copyrighted material, please don't distribute it through this forum. Thank you!

I'm curious if anyone has created their own PDF of a book so that searching would be much easier.

:patriot:For the website admin, please note, I am not talking about any copyright violation (at least none that I know of) and no redistributing them to other people. I'm simply asking if anyone had attempted to scan a book they already own into PDF format. Obviously the Ctrl-F function to search a PDF is significantly faster than searching through a paper book.

I had thought about buying a duplex scanner, and then cutting the spine off the book and running the pages through to create a searchable PDF. The investment in the scanner and used books would be significantly cheaper than the cost of a few of the books I've seen in PDF form.

If you already own the book, breaking it down into a format you can better use doesn't seem to be a bad idea. I see there are some services out there who will do it for you but if you are going to be taking quite a lot of classes online, particularly with Straighterline, for example, it may be more cost effective to do it yourself.

Another note to the admin: I am absolutely NOT advocating anything that should be prohibited to discuss. However, I highly value this forum and if for any reason you feel the need to remove this post I would understand. I don't want to get banned or anything simply for asking about this. LOL :ack:
