It handles about 20 sheets per minute, scanning both sides. A 200 page book takes about 5 minutes to scan. The problem is turning a bound book into sheets. I\u2019ve been using a utility knife to cut the pages [&#8230;] the knife only takes a few minutes. In less than 10 minutes I can reduce a bulky 2-3 pound book to a weightless file with all the typography, graphics and even the paper&#8217;s color preserved in a PDF.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>A <a href=\"http:\/\/booksnap.atiz.com\/\">better option<\/a>, which means you can still sell the books afterwards. Or donate them to a library.<\/p>\n<p>Or you could just <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mattcutts.com\/blog\/scan-and-search-books\/\">run a $65 barcode scanner<\/a> over the back of each book, keep them (&#8220;Books furnish a room&#8221;, etc) and then search a lot of your library via Google Books.  Plus you get a record of your library for insurance purposes, in case the house burns down. Which in large sections of the American desert\/scrubland is apparently a real possibility. I&#8217;d imagine it might be quite useful for scholars in repressive countries too, where one might suddenly have to flee the country without a personal library.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The man who ripped books&#8230; &#8220;I have a sheet-fed scanner &mdash; a Fujitsu Scan Snap S510M [$350] &mdash; which works &hellip;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/jurn.link\/jurnsearch\/index.php\/2009\/07\/05\/non-non-descructive-scanning\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2593","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ooops"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/jurnsearch\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2593","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/jurnsearch\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/jurnsearch\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/jurnsearch\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/jurnsearch\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2593"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/jurnsearch\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2593\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/jurnsearch\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2593"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/jurnsearch\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2593"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/jurnsearch\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2593"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
