High-speed book scanner works as pages turn
Hopefully this isn't posted somewhere already, but I couldn't find any sign of it.

Google supposedly uses a similar concept for their book scans.

Ah thanks for that link. I wondered how on Earth they were scanning such a huge volume of books and now I know. I also wonder about the link in the article I posted because it sounds very much like Google's version. I guess it's in a different country so patents are a little tricky there.
