Introducing BookDrive Pro: Our best book scanner ever!

BookDrive Pro solves all problems found in book scanners. Problems of
conventional scanners are page curvature, damage to book spine and low
productivity.

BookDrive uses a different approach called a V-shaped solution. The
combination of V-shaped book cradle and V-shaped glass holds the book
open at a non-stressful 120-degree angle for scanning by hi-speed, hi-resolution digital
SLR cameras.

This unique design guarantees sharp, curvature-free images in every scan.

Our V-shaped solution is helping hundreds of libraries
worldwide scan millions of books. This information page
tells what sets BookDrive apart from the competition.

Visit BookDrive Pro for more info.
