FWIW, I have done the same sort of thing with physical books via scanning a recipe into a PDF file and then using OCR to capture the text.  If you have the right tools available, it is surprisingly easy once you get the hang of it.  As you might imagine, I have come to the point where I generally prefer e-books to physical books.  There are many reasons for that, but one of them is that "piles" of  un- or under- read e-books just don't weigh on me the way that piles of physical books do.

 

Yes, I prefer PDF ebooks.

 

I store recipes in Gmail, Google Drive and Google Keep—easily searched/sorted via keywords and tags/labels.
