I saw this at my semi local Sam's club last week, and I have been thinking of getting one.

It's a hand held scanner, and it has been getting great reviews (compared to ones like the docupen, etc).

Best part, it's 100$. The Sam's club bundle comes with a hard case and micro SD card as well, so that's always a bonus.

I am going to basically be scanning in paperback books with this, or at least I hope to be scanning them in. Has anyone used one of these for scanning in smaller items like a paperback book?

I mainly want to just digitize my own library of old books that won't get the ebook treatment anytime soon.

Here's the links :

and here is the Amazon link :

So... anyone?
