The scanning/OCR process is cheap enough, a reliable robot to page the
book would be significantly more expensive, though. I plan to scan my
hom library by hand, to make it more transportable. As to outlaw web
publishing: people are doing it for quite a while,
already. Unfortunately, Internet gets progressively regulated, so
you're likely to face stiff charges for copyright infringement in the
future.
