I have a few hundred thousand pages to scan, so a diy camera-style book scanner isn't appropriate, nor is a flatbed scanner. Thanks for the ideas, though. On Wed, Apr 14, 2010 at 10:42 AM, Jon Richfield <richfield@telkomsa.net> wrote:
FWIW, Since I bought myself a digital camera for general use, plus a copy of Omniscan, my scanner has been pretty well idle.

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.
