While those do have the advantage of not destroying a book, I fail to see how they can be faster than a good ADF scanner. I haven't had any problems with mixing up pages. In my case, I have to get rid of the books due to a lack of space in my future home but I don't want to give them up completely so destroying them is not a problem for me since, once I have a copy of them, I can't give them away or sell them without violating the copyright.
