Oh, and I'm using Windows XP, but I also have a couple Linux machines.

I put up all the information on ordering the plastic piece, including the store I've used and the diagram I've sent them, here:

Thanks for the OS feedback, it sounds like we're targeting platforms in the right order for you as well.
As for the multiple pieces of plastic, it depends on you. I've basically scanned everything using the 12" model, including a couple of paperbacks, and had good results. My theory is that if you're doing significant paperback capturing, it will lead to speed improvements but I haven't yet attacked a stack of paperbacks in order to test that out. If you want to try it out, just use the same diagram but change the inside sides (the ones next to the end) to be 9" and the outside edge (with the holes) to 8". That'll give you a copy of the one I picked up last week and we can scan in tandem.
