BookDrive - Portable USB 2.0 "BOOK" Scanner

  February 18th, 2006



BookDrive - Portable USB 2.0 "BOOK" ScannerDespite that every scanner does the same thing, this ATIZ's BookDrive is definitely something. It is the first portable desktop-sized book scanner with automatic page-turning functionality. It reportedly scans so fast at 500 pages per hour, you could start ripping off people's text books for money. If you were to do this manually, it would cost you 100 pages per hour per worker.

While this may sound like a good business to pay off tuitions (given you can evade authorities), the Hi-Speed USB book scanner carries a somewhat prohibitive price tag at $50,000, according to I4U.
