If I had the time (and a place to keep the thing) it would have been fun to build my own book scanner, but it would probably cost me more than USD 200 in material.

Only a limited number of books are available as ebooks today. In my country it is less than 1000. Further, books are quite expensive here with the ordinary price for a hardback being the equivalent of USD 60. Ebooks will probably be cheaper, but I do not know how much cheaper.
