Fucking awesome, i have the scansnap aswell after trying some bullshit cheap all-in-one-solution-printer from HP, i am scanning all my books and paperwork, and putting them on harddisk,

Scansnap rules!!!!

PS, if you have a thick book, break it in half first with a pocket knife and then cut it in half first and then use the PT6176!!! easier that way

Thanks for your tip. I'll try!!

What resolution are you using? 200dpi?

Then I put the pages back and the other side is scaned too, the images are named in reverse order cause you have to put the last page on top in order to have the other side scanned but with a batch file rename this is not a problem. I prefer image to pdf cause it gives you all options: batch change quality (irfan viewer batch rules), crop, ocr, make pdf whatever. I keep the images in a zip (helps the hard disk) and all good!

As for scanning.. have a good hp scanner (150eu) but had to buy this hp 4500 (79eu) that has a feeder and a great software. I put at least 50 pages. Scanning is automatic now (I don't care how fast). For cutting I building a wooden thing to hold the book tight and have it cut with a power tool (20eu, china made), keeping the book by hand is sure will cause injure it can grab the book and then your hand. I scan the book as images, it scans the top side only.

Strangely, I found this video relaxing. ASMR?

[xushenxin]

the book cutter costs more than the scanner! where can I buy a cheap

book cutter like this one?

@lucirz Plus, you're destroying the book. There are ways to photograph them and use software to adjust the bend in the picture.
