I have an optiscan 3600 - It has some advantages - some helpful buttons -
scanning fairly near the edge - one disadvantage is that images are not
deskewed - also some books have print so near the crease that they are
difficult to scan a page at a time.

I find any method that does a page or two at a time very tedious - hours to
do a single book. It's best not to have to do a page at a time and you might
find as I do that it is important to deskew.

Perhaps you could buy two books one to scan and one to read. Alternatively
I find it quite easy to read a book that has been unbound for scanning. Keep
the pages in order inside the cover and close with a rubber band.
