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.

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.

FWIW, Since I bought myself a digital camera for general use, plus a
copy of Omniscan, my scanner has been pretty well idle.

Is my choice unusual in any way?
