Guys, if you want to buy books and you want to upload after here, in amazon japan you can now buy manga drawing related kindle books with Amazon Services International, Inc. to forget all that issues with scan books.

First open an account in amazon japan and download kindle for PC and install it in your machines, and when you will buy a kindle book, select deliver to kindle for PC for download the kindle books to your computers. now in your documents folder you will have a folder called "My Kindle Content" with two files ended with .azw and .mbpV2

this files you can now convert them to .pdf document with calibre:

Hi denkikoiji & fellows, amazon japan now use a new system called Amazon Services International for kindle books overseas sales, they have some limitations of purchase quantity and purchase conditions but like they say, if the limitation is not specifically mentioned there, will not be a quantity limitation to purchase, and I dont see any limitation with kindle books.

But if the limitation for the international buyers really exist, and you dont know anybody in japan or dont have a tenso address, use this fake japanese address:

Mikami Bldg. 1-18-10 Wakabayashi, Setagaya-ku, Tokyo, Japan 154-0023

works for me before! :).

And of course, dont use it for your purchases of physical goods.
There are no kindle books for the sudepoco. Amazon has a deal for $10 off any books that cost over $25, this applies to a few of the sudepoco books. I might buy 2, but I am unemployed, the final interview is next week :(

These are the only books I can find that are $25
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/4798608882/
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/4798607606/
Although if I use 2 accounts, I pay for shipping twice.. so $8 shipping, $20 saved. Not sure if it's worth it to cave in right now.

Thanks Ishuran

You have to press down on the book to get rid of some of the shadows, "folding the page at the binding and pushing down helps" but in the end you still have to clean the scan,

You can cut the book to have the best scan but personally there are scanners out there that has the book at a 90 degree angle at the binding and then the scanner scans it to the edge but they are around $2200

The difference of the all in one printer/scanner and the flatbed scanner is the DPI and scanning speed, the all in one is slower then the flatbed I believe, and the different DPI settings for each can have a different dpi "All in one" 600-4,800 DPI and "Flatbed" 600-6,400 DPI at around the same price, also the higher DPI the slower the scan is.

I'm looking for CLIP STUDIO PAINT illustration technique books, can you provide?
I have such a collection of physical books, including a bajillion of the SS エスエス magazines and New Pose Catalogue books, I wish I knew how to scan them without ruining the spines...
I also have that Nekomimi book mentioned somewhere above, and the Face Body Men's Moe Kakikata book someone wanted as well.
Not mentioned here (as far as I know), I have books on hands and feet (complete with a CD-rom with stock sketches), wrinkles in clothing, dynamic posing, perspective, photo catalog, etc. books. I'm trying to save up for more, but my recent financial situation and my bad habit of buying expensive figures is making it impossible to venture for more.

For myself, I'm hoping someone has or can scan:
