The book scanner sounds very interesting. I would love to see one of those in action.
In case you want to investigate further, it is a Fujitsu Scansnap 500. I think the only real similar version available now is the 510. These are not TWAIN compliant (and if that term is meaningless to you - it is just a standard that most programs currently recognize) but it has it's own drivers and produces a PDF file as output. It comes with a somewhat restricted version of the ABBYY Finereader OCR SW. It is a page scanner & can scan pages up to 8.5" x 11" and can scan two sides at once. You can stack up to 50 pages at a time in it. Cost is about $400 on Amazon for the 510.

Fujitsu makes a newer version that is about double the price & is TWAIN compliant.
