That is the coolest thing ever. But I wonder -- is it any faster than scanning a book with a flatbed scanner? That's what I've been doing when converting my books to digital format (for personal use only, of course!) for the last 12 years. It takes about a half-hour per 100 pages of book, I would say, for black and white 300DPI scanning. Greyscale ups the time to about 1.5 hours per 100 pages. Naturally, color considerations are an area where a setup like yours, with digital cameras, would be hugely advantageous.
