Well the digital age is finally catching up with me in respect of books/ebooks.

I have 5 or 6 books on music studio recording (plus a ton of others I'm not too concerned about) that the time has come to get on my iPad instead of a physical copy. The issue I have is that having already paid £30+ for the physical version, it looks like I have to pay the same for the electronic version!

Anyone know of any way, short of scanning thousands of pages, of converting, or obtaining ebook versions of already owned books? I don't mind paying for this, just not full whack again!!

Cheers

There's a thing called BitLit which claims to provide you with the ebook if you upload a photo of a physical version, although supposedly you have to pay for some.

Thanks chaps! I did stumble across BitLit but haven't had a chance to look at it yet. Some of these are old or rare books (not rare as in valuable, just produced for software that's not widely used) so won't hold my breath, but worth a look.

Thanks for the response. Rumour has it, there's a lot on there, but nothing that I was looking for Thanks anyway
