Does the scansnap do two-sided scanning? My scanner only does one side at a time, so I've been delaying actually chopping up a book to try feeding through it.

Ok, here is how productive my day was so far!
I had 7 books chopped at Kinko's.
Total of about $6 for all books being cut. It cut them perfectly.
I loaded about 40 pages (the fujitsu snapscan can handle 50 into the adf, but why push it!) into the adf and pushed the button on the scanner.
It scanned all 40 pages within 30 seconds, DOUBLE SIDED! (It doesn't do the old fashion way of flipping the pages, it actually has the scanner part on the lid and the base so that it scans them both at the same time!)
The software it comes with (at least for the mac version) is the Fujitsu Driver CD, a FULL version of Adobe Acrobat 8, and Abby Fine Reader Full Version for Mac.
Once it scanned the pages in, it asked me if I wanted to save as images, email, pdf, etc.
I chose PDF and it started OCR'ing the pages which took about 5-7 min's for 40 pages of B&W text. Then it saves it.
I labeled each file book1.pdf, book2.pdf, book3.pdf, etc. Once it was all scanned, saved, and ocr'd, I used the full version of acrobat to combine the files, and that was all!
Easy as pie! I did 3 books, each which was an of average of 300-400 pages each!
This is a great way to do things!
I still have my PlusTek Opticbook 3600 for the books I don't want to cut up.
I cannot see any easier way to do this.
