Well, I have two main scanners. A CZUR , the pro one that I use for large or really precious material. And an Epson FF680-W, which is a sheet fed scanner.
If you don't want to break the book binding and sheet feed , right now the
CZUR is the only option that most people can use. I would honestly say that
it does an OK job doing that but it is very labor intensive and the scans are mediocre IMHO. It's literally taking a picture from a distance of about a
foot and then trying to straighten the pages with software trickery. It works some of the time, and some of the time it is less than great. I don't regret buying the CZUR, it's just not the Utopia that you might think. I broke the binding on this book and cut the absolute minimum of the edge of the page
with a high quality guillotine page cutter. I plan on having this particular book wire-bound, as it is much easier to read. Epson FF680-W is probably the best sheet feeder scanner I have ever used. I can feed it a stack of pages
and it rarely if ever jams. It also scans a stack of old photos excellent.
Be sure to turn on page straightening when using the Epson. I had tons of
music books that I scanned this way, and most musicians will wire bound a
book for easier reading anyway, although to be honest, I threw the books away after the scan. I rather have an excellent scan that will last forever. This particular book I did keep after scanning , just in case I missed a page
simply because it is so rare.
