So I've got an idea to make a book scanner so I can update the library with all of my hard-copy books.
I've done this before with a camera and a cardboard box - it worked well but was very time consuming. I'm hoping to rig up an automatic scanner so that I can just place a book inside, turn it on, and forget it for an hour or two until it's done. Any ideas are welcome, and I'll also be posting a sister-thread in /diy/.
Wish me luck.
