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:

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.
