My Canon Pixia (about $29 at Wal-mart) supports multipage PDF format. Not sure if there's a limit to the number of pages supported. Although I haven't created eBooks this way, I have used it a lot for things like multipage legal documents. Scanning is a LOT faster than it was a couple of generations ago and the output is pretty much readable.

I'm not sure how worthwhile it would be to create eBooks from paper books this way, but it does point out how ubiquitous the eBook is becoming...in all of its multiple formats.
