Don't forget the Plustek Opticbook 3600, which takes 10-20 sec per page, then if you want it to OCRs it for you. If not it still gets the orientation for even and odd pages right. It has a big button for the next page on the scanner itself, so you don't have to go back and forth to your computer. It scans paperbacks and bound books without problems due to the binding. You only have to open the book 90 degrees. This makes all the difference. In my opinion better than taking pictures with a SLR.
It takes me about an hour to get a reasonable sized book into my PC.
