At the LDS Family History Library in Naperville (a suburb of Chicago IL), one of the microfilm viewers will download images straight to the flash drive. That's why I purchased the flash drive. I do NOT know if most LDS centers have this feature as yet or not.
As for the local (Rochester MN) public library, the only thing they'll save to is a floppy disk (the A: drive). A small scanner sounds like a GREAT idea!
