I see I commented on this thread back in December 2022 saying I'd 'scanned' one paperback using an overhead camera setup and that was enough for me. I've now used the (Czur) device in anger a second time - for producing an electronic copy of a large format paperback quiz book. I didn't need to OCR it, just wanted a decent digital copy to go on my laptop. For that the machine was perfect. OK I ended up with backache after doing it but that's due to my extremely unergonomic crowded desk rather than the device. It's got a foot pedal so you really can go quite fast once you get into the rhythm of it. And their processing software cleverly removes the special finger cots from the final image.

This is the version I've got: https://shop.czur.com/products/czur-...40181057617968
