Scanning a book by removing the binding

Forum member chocokid posted a great how-to on scanning a book by removing the binding first. Thanks for documenting the process!

Flow Chart - Deciding What to Scan

I had a stack of papers about two feet tall on my desk and I was feeling a bit overwhelmed. Where to start? What to scan?

What programs are you using with your tablet?

I was going to save this for tomorrow, but Tracy’s previous post sort of forced my hand on this one. Looking at how full my "Program Files" folder is, I must have several dozen programs installed. Of those the following are programs that I use specifically because I have a Tablet. Microsoft [...]
