One of the biggest universities in Canada made the right choice and bought a book2net kiosk book scanner. The book2net kiosk comes with a self adjusting book cradle which fits perfect to every book. There is no damage on the books and their spine. Thanks to this special book cradle and the face up capturing system even old and rare books can be scanned in seconds to a USB Flash Drive. In comparison to a standard photocopier there is no need to press the book on a glass plate to get a good picture. The book2net scanner saves the pictures as a full color copy.
