Long time no hear.
Someone wande...Hey there Nancy! Long time no hear.<br /><br />Someone wandered into my blog from yours, and I followed the link back here. First, very quickly: re scanners: I strongly recommend the Lexmark family (we have a fax/printer/scanner of theirs). It comes with some of the best scanning software I've ever used. It turns out a ***remarkably*** clean scan of a book. (I did "A Wizard Abroad" in about an hour and a half from the Book Club hardcover.)<br /><br />Meanwhile, my own reissue program is coming along nicely -- soon I'll have all the Young Wizards books out in international editions, and am about to start a short "revisions" series. See here for some info:<br /><br />And don't hesitate to get in touch if you need advice. I'm well down this road at the moment. :) Check here or what was kind of a springboard post on the subject:<br /><br />http://www.dianeduane.com/outofambit/2011/03/14/ebooks-a-note-from-the-pro-am-self-pub-frontier/<br /><br />Best! -- DianeDianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18372732597674484796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1695280310697378421.post-72447557540061893382011-05-29T00:44:44.763-07:002011-05-29T00:44:44.763-07:00Whenever (or if ever) you think you'd like my ...Whenever (or if ever) you think you'd like my help is fine with me. I don't know that I'll have much "advice" on this topic, however. As I said, I don't know too much about it. I am a little familiar with the <a href="http://calibre-ebook.com/" rel="nofollow">Calibre</a> eBook manager/converter software that others have mentioned, when you get to that point.<br /><br />It's a bit technical, but the <a href="" rel="nofollow">DIY Book Scanning</a> site has lots of useful information and instructions. You might be able to find someone on the site's forum that has built their own book scanner who might be willing to help you.Bryan H.

I'd be happy to do anything necessary to accelerate this project. I do have a scanner as well as hard copies of almost all of your backlist titles, including Nothing Human.Bryan H.
