Cheap DIY book scanner on Instructables.com

Post by Lunatech »

I saw this on instructables and thought immediately of Josh, but it could be useful to most anybody.

Since they changed to a paying or non paying member site I have little use or respect for it, but still look at it once in a while.

Sorry about the long url, I just can't seem to rename it and have it work. How do you do that?

yeah ok, let me know the next time you find a digital camera in the trash...never mind one good enough to take clear enough images of text on a page from 2 feet away. You can buy a scanner for less than the cost of 1 camera.

Cool site. Lots of cool info on there. Too bad you have to pay. I don't feel like paying for it. Seems like it would stifle a lot of creativity and learning by forcing people to pay instead of using ads like every other site on the interwebz. If they didn't make you pay and inconvenience you I would probably spend time on that site and probably make a DIY entry or two myself. But I won't.

The only real difference between pay or not pay is that you can download the instructions in their entirety if you pay. This used to be free.

You also cannot view all the pages on one page.
