Hi all !

I have some books I'll want to scan. I tried with my printer/scanner, but it's way too fastidious (open the book, put on the glass, click button, verify the scanned text, change page, etc...)
So I think of handheld scanners, as Docupen (for a full page) or IrisPen (for a one-line-at-a-time scan).
Is anyone of you using these, or anything like it ?
And what is your opinion ?

Thanks in advance !

PS : I don't want to unbind my books, they are mostly books out of publishing, hard to find (if not impossible !)
