>>26491078I scan the doujins with my Epson Workforce 500 (using the Epson Scan program). Don't get an Epson printer though. Decent ink cartridges that don't clog the nozzle are ridiculously expensive, and if the nozzle head get's clogged, you're fucked, since there's absolutely no easy way to clean it (at least with my model).
As for scans, if you want high quality scans like mine, unfortunately yes, you do have to debind them, which is why I have/buy two copies of doujins (my second copy of ~In Winter~ was already conveniently debinded though). I apply a hairdryer on the spine of the book to melt/loosen the glue, then slowly tear the pages out while the glue is loose for a very clean debinding. I heard that it's possible to rebind the book with this method, but I haven't tried it yet.
>>26492172Unfortunately, I've become too busy with other aspects of life to continue my Japanese studies atm, so it's unlikely I'll be able to translate these. Maybe in the future though. In the meantime though, if anyone else can translate these books, I would be eternally grateful because I really want to read these in English.
