Recommend a cheap digital camera for scanning books?

[blackhead]

Hi.

I have a flatbed scanner which has problems scanning a page in a book
because the page at the binding can never be made to lie flat. So can
anyone recommend a cheap digital camera that I could mount on a tri-
pod
to scan a page?


Thanks in advance.

How about a low cost book scanner? About $240 plain-$330 Plus

This one has PDF software built-in.

You will not be happy with the results.

There are "book scanners" made for this purpose.
