Hardware matters. A scanner that will read both sides of the page at once changes things a lot. So does a faster scanner--but they cost more. Sometimes a lot more.
Software matters. Some programs make the scanning go easier by absorbing pages as quickly as the scanner can read them; others make you click through something to save out each page as it's scanned.

How are people handling scanning from a flat bed scanner- any tips or advice welcome.

Get an MP3 player loaded with music you like, or set up the scanner in front of the tv so you can watch movies & scan. After you get the initial setup arranged, it's time-consuming but not brain-consuming. Find something else to think about so you're not just watching pages show up on the screen.
