I have some old paperback books I'd like to scan and turn into EPUBs. They're quite old but not rare, so I don't mind cutting them apart in order to get at the text.

Can anyone recommend a scanner that doesn't cost an outrageous amount (probably not more than $150) that's available today that I could use to scan these books in? It would be great if it had a tray feeder, which some printer/scanner/copiers seems to have. I'm not sure which brands have the best software support or reliability, so I come to you for advice.
