Plustek BookReader
Here’s another interesting piece of machinery that can be applied to the eBook Revolution. Plustek has the BookReader, a device that will scan in printed text (your books) and convert it into a lifelike voice (voice options there…).
 At $699 you’ve got to be serious about converting books into MP3 audio files, but the application is perfect for the visually impaired while offering hours of hands-free entertainment for commuters.
The full story is here. Might be time-consuming to scan the books, but worth it, if you’ve got favorites that you don’t want to replace with eBooks, or others that are out-of-print. The literature says it will read PDF files, so there’s a crossover tech to eBooks. Very cool, yah!
