Hey Blackguard, I've been reading through the diybookscanner forum - some are quite involved and a few are a little more down to earth. There was one guy who used metal picture frames in his design for the platen- that was clever.
What kind of camera are you using? I'd love to see a photo sometime of your setup..400 pages in 20 minutes? WOW! lol
I'm impressed with what they've done, but don't know if I could pull it off!
To everyone who have made the leap and purchased the Optibook:
I'm still wanting one - just hoping you will continue to share how it's running for you-
