I personally have a printer scanner with a sheet feeder that I bought to try to make my DTB shrink and that stupid feeder jams every time I try it with a paperback but works find for a stack of 8.5x11 papers. Even with two people one sitting by the printer scanner and one setting at the computer pressing the scan button it takes an hour to scan a dtb. If I can pay a $1.00 to scan a dtb it is worth it.

FYI - I wrote to them asking if it would be ok to send them the book without the front cover. They said that was fine.
