Most of us might prefer to pick up a book and read it, yet others prefer digitized books because they are easy to read on any PDA, PC or laptop. The Bookdrive scanner will automatically scan a 500-page book in under an hour, a task that would take the average person about 5 hours or more to complete. This is the world's first and only desktop-sized scanner with an automatic page-turning feature, easy-to-use software and USB 2.0 connectivity. It's actually very pricey at $35,000, so you're better off looking for it at your local printing shop. Product Page [Gizmodo]
