The Digitizing Line DL-3000 Book Scanner is billed as the fastest book scanner in the world. Since it offers a maximum of 3000 pages per hour, which equates to something like an average paperback every 6 to 7 minutes, we’re not going to argue. It’s big though, so you may want to measure up the spare bedroom before handing over your pension money. Oh and it costs around $250,000 I believe.
Suitable for recent and old books # Safety of the book validated by experts in book preservation # Handles books with various paper thickness, texture, porosity and soft or rigid covers # Turns and scans 1500 to 3000 pages per hour in unattended operation # Overall productivity is incomparably higher than any manual operator # Handles books that open normally and books that close spontaneously # Ensures that only one page is turned at a time

Heh I bet a few book pirates will have one of theese.
Heh, I don't know Peter, a quarter of a mil for a free copy of Harry Potter may be a bit steep for some. :-) (but I know what you mean – heh)
Yeah, but how many hits on there advert/spyware laden site could they get with that free copy? nothing against this machine, just wondering how long it takes before some anti-book piracy group comes out, and ruins books
Yeah those anti book piracy people can be jerks. They shut down everyone who offers books to read without paying into the authors/publishers royalties. I just wish there were a place I could go to get a copy of a book and read it without paying. If only there were somewhere that would sort of allow me to 'check out' a book and then return it without paying for it.
@SJ – tsk! :-)
