I'm waiting on two pieces of info: Price; and image resolution, which makes all the difference for accurate OCR. It won't be blocked from market, it has enough fair use uses, and historically, only those who are caught selling copies of media in violation of copyright laws have been prosecuted. Concern about potential copyright violation could serve to jack up the price in order to keep out ne'er-do-wells, but as that always backfires, I'd doubt it.
If the price and operability are right, it could not only open up personal digitization, but it might even become one of those devices that can make someone a bit of extra money (like lawn-mowing and dog-walking do now). But if it shows up in something like a used bookstore, I'd duck and cover.
