Besides, anything more than that and you're a freakin' pirate right?
I own a lot of books that aren't available as ebooks. And I might be willing to destroy them to turn them into ebooks! (for personal consumption only, of course...) But I'm not willing to spend the time to do it on a flatbed. 50 sheets at a time would be great, and as you point out, that's really 100 pages at a time.

I was thinking a lot about this as I browsed a recent library sale - 1.00 or so for an ebook, even with the cost and effort of conversion, is pretty nice.

This is the scanner I was looking at. Thoughts?
