Do you store the scanned pages as .jpg, or .pdf, or something else?

I used my digital camera to photograph the pages a few at a time.
It's much faster than scanning and still perfectly legible if you
have the camera (and lighting) set up right. Try to get the camera
square to the table and work in front of a big north-facing window
to get even light.

Put them on something plain (not a woodgrain table or a carpet) since
the fuzzy borders will just bulk up your jpgs.

Each page a separate file?

Mine are 2 pages per file, but the two pages are different logbooks
(one above another). I didn't bother with any indexing because it's
just for emergency backup purposes.

Will all the pages of a typical spamcan log fit on a single CD?

Oh yeah.
