Jim, Another extremely helpful response. (See my reply to Dave.) In addition, thanks for the glass tip. I should try it with my Hovercam, although it does amazingly well even with curly edges and old, long-folded-up letters.

I use the camera for physical scanning. It scans faster than a flat or curved bed scanner but scanning books must be done face up, presenting a bit of a problem for pressing down securely to get a good scan read. I resolved the press down issue by putting a piece of glass over the book to be scanned and pressing down. Scanning is then pretty comparable to the larger flat/curved bed machines. The camera is mounted on a tripod, which folds up for travel. In all, I'm pleased with the setup.
