I was thinking about buying something like that, but decided against it. I am afraid the quality is not very good.

I am still planning to build a simple low cost version of this: https://www.diybookscanner.org/

And I bought a repo stand from infuu:

It is used to photograph documents, because it is quicker than scanning.
To use it for books I still need:
  • good lighting
  • something to hold down or flatten the pages, like a glass plate

I scan the hardcover book "Das Playmatebuch" using a flatbed scanner.

deadlock99 might have some experience, he is photographing magazines. I would be interested in what equipment he uses.
