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.
I'd have to agree, it can get big dizzying or brain numbingly repetitive to watch pages over and over again. Good luck
