A Book Scanner is a specialized device designed to digitize books, magazines, and documents quickly and efficiently — without damaging the originals. Unlike traditional flatbed scanners, a book scanner uses a V-shaped cradle or overhead camera system to capture high-resolution images of pages while keeping the spine intact.

It’s ideal for libraries, students, researchers, publishers, and archival professionals who need to preserve or share printed materials in digital format. Many modern book scanners feature automatic page detection, OCR (Optical Character Recognition) for editable text, and fast page-turn scanning to save time.
