Paula, before you or your husband begin a repeat book scanning project, could you provide a few more details?
1. What did your husband use to scan the books the first time around? It sounds from your message as if he used his iPad 2 to scan them but that seems overwhelming and maybe an incorrect assumption on my part. 2. If a computer was used to do the original scan, are the scanned books not still on it? 3. What format were the scanned books? Were they plain text or something else? 4. Even though you were not successful in getting the books from your iTunes to his new iPad Mini, it sounds as if you might have been successful in getting the books into iTunes on your computer. Can you confirm this? Depending on your answers to the above, I would think you should be able to get the books either from a computer or your husband's old iPad 2 provided iTunes can recognize it, you've synced its applicable content to the computer running iTunes, and iTunes recognizes the new iPad Mini. Figuring out the steps to make this work should take a whole lot less time than re-scanning the books again.

My husband had a number of books which he had got from the local library and scanned in Voicedream Reader, as well as some bookshar e books. The Bookshare books present no problem, since he can simply re-download them onto his new iPad. However, although I have followed the instructions as to using the File-sharing table in iTunes to first save the Voicedream data from his old iPad, and then add the files to iTunes so that they may be transferred to the new device, I have not been successful in restoring the data. Unfortunately, he did not have iCloud enabled on his old device, so we are unable to restore the data from a backup. He is not as fanatically attached to backing up as am I, so I realize that we may just have to bite the bullet and re-scan the books. However, , I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask here in case anyone had an idea.. Thanks in advance for reading this, and for any help provided.
