I bought a crappy digital camera to use "most of the time". It didn't even come with a manual - just a url to download it. But it did have instructions on how to scan a book. Don On Wed, Apr 14, 2010 at 6:07 PM, Gardner Buchanan <gbuchana@teksavvy.com>wrote:
Hi Jon,
Nope, I think you're part of a pretty popular movement there. There's a whole cottage industry of building home-made book scanners that consist of a jig to hold the book and a pair of digital cameras positioned to capture the two facing pages. Look at http://www.diybookscanner.org/
Personally, I still use a flatbed, but that's because I'm a Luddite.

Is my choice unusual in any way?
