The "V-shaped" platten in those youtube videos (and at the
diybookscanner.org site) holds the pages flat so the cameras can take a great picture.
But, if building your own scanner, or purchasing their pre-made scanner kit, is more than you want to attempt, there are flat bed scanners that have narrow bezels around the glass so that you can get a good flat scan of the page (example
here).
The ABBYY Finereader program allows you to pause between scans...selecting multiple page scan allows the option of setting how many seconds to wait between successive scans.
