Nice Find: a DIY Book Scanning Tool and Community

So glad to have stumbled upon this nice project which may well have a potential in schools and independent libraries:

We are a community of people who build our own book scanners. We also write Free software for book scanning. We are the missing link between your bookshelf and your e-reader. Join us! Get involved by trying a simple scanner, building a kit, or pushing the limits of scanning technology. If your questions can’t be answered by reading, write us an e-mail: diybookscanner [at] gmail.com.

via DIY Book Scanning.

The website really looks full of infortmation as well as ways to interact with this amazing community
