I've had that Fujitsu SV-600 document scanner on my radar forever but it is $600, and it has been out two years now, so I'm inclined to wait for the next iteration.
I just tried scanning an entire page of a book and it didn't do quite as well. Small jobs like those that make up at least 95% of the things I do it does fine, and even has a simple tool for making corrections for surfaces that are not quite flat, but I wouldn't think of it to scan entire books or even entire standard letter documents. But to grab quotes from paper books it's tops.
