Thanks, M. - I'll have to give this a try using my two Olympi (-uses?) - a 5MP point&shoot and a 10 MP E-520. On the other hand, it looks like a book has to sit flat open for this to work well. I'll probably keep the OpticBook scanner that came with my copy of Abbyy Sprint

(of course, it stays home, and my cameras can go with me anywhere) Very interesting technique!
