which should solve any worries about clean cuts for the scanner.
In the end, it should pay for itself, stopping any worries about staples or kinkos ruining the pages while cutting them.

Got one myself just before Christmas. Works very well. Had one book (paperback) that was too thick - about 1100 pages, that I broke into two halves in order to cut. My only complaint is the bar that slides back & forth to allow you to gauge the width of the cut. The thumb screw causes it to twist slightly (not unacceptably) but I think I can make a "shim" to use with it that will correct the problem.
My current storage is using a rubber band to keep the pages together until I'm sure I won't need to rescan.
I also use the scansnap and am very pleased with it. I purchased a SW that converts PDF to RTF and then edit with MS Word. That is faster and as accurate as using my ABBYY FinReader OCR SW.
Good luck on your venture.
