Are these all of the materials needed, excluding the plexiglass, cameras, lights, and MDF, to build your 80/20 scanner? I don't know the first thing about CAD or this material, so, I would try to bu...

HoverCam ImPress Book Scanner

Now that the Ion Book Saver is not going to be happening any time soon, or maybe ever, I wanted to post about another book scanner that was shown at CES. A co-worker of mine went to CES 2012 and told me about a book scanner that would be coming out. He couldn't remember the name but I think he might...

Re: Preassembled bookscanner available?

Hi there, I am a business grad student and therefore don't really have the tools to do this kind of stuff myself; however, at the same time I am tired of lugging 8-10 textbooks around with me every day because I can't find digital copies of them anywhere. I would love to have one of these scanners ...

Re: Ionaudio Booksaver?
