Unfortunately, my personal experiences on this won't be much use to you. The specific answers to your questions are: I'm not; N/A; N/A; N/A.

That's why I tried to give you what little relevant info I happened to know, partly in hopes that it might be some help to you, but mostly to bump the thread back to the top in hopes that someone who has some actual experience with it would see it and chime in.

On the number of sheets it takes at a time, once you know how long it takes to run through that many sheets, you can come back and re-fill it ... assuming that your other activities allow for that, of course. You might be able to pay a high-school (or even middle-school) student to baby-sit the thing for you -- again, if your circumstances allow. They do work cheap, you know.

Those are supposed to be good, but they would require doing the scanning by hand.

I'm told that Kinkos will de-bind books for you for a nominal fee. They'll even re-bind them later, for a similar fee. So de-binding them may not be all that big a deal.
