Hi Pranav ji,
Thank you for your constructive views on the matter.
1. Even sighted people face difficulty in aligning the pages properly. I am
thinking of having a custom made stand or monopod with a long base having
straight edge. I think we can align the books to that edge as we do with
scanner edges.
2. how much the monopods cost? do you have any idea of where can we get them
and can we get it customised?
3. certainly Lighting is another potential issue and I am facing that in my
experiments. how about cameras with flash light? how about having a bright
light source like tube lights?
4. why do we need autofocus? cant we set the focus once for the camera on a
monopod as said above and turn the pages and capture them?
5. I do not know any thing about camera scanners like pearl. I am grateful
if you can give some more information on them.
waiting for your response on the above ideas.

Hi,
1. You need sighted assistance to photograph pages with a digital camera.
The problem comes in aligning the document consistently and keeping it
there. If you can solve that you will be good to go. Consider using a
monopod to mount the camera. Lighting is another potential issue. Use a
digital camera with an autofocus.
2. Your best option is to look at camera scanners such as the pearl.
