Is this easy? Are there any tips for making it easier?

Last time I tried to do this (1997) I spent such an inordinate amount 
of time correcting misread characters (but that was on an old HP 
OfficeJet all-in-one) that I gave it up as a bad joke.

Our current scanner is a Canon 1212U that dates from about 5-6 years 
ago.

My ebook reader is my Palm Lifedrive (gotta love that 4Gb HD and big 
screen)
