What is BookDrive Pro?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 for scanning by hi-speed, hi-resolution digital SLR cameras.
This unique design guarantees sharp, curvature-free images in every scan. The V-shaped solution has helped hundreds of libraries worldwide scan millions of books.

page curvature correction Can scan as fast as 700 pages per hour Scan easily without pushing buttons with
Auto Capture Switch Glare-free lighting system produces well,
evenly lit images even on high gloss originals
Supports any Canon DSLR camera so the product will never become obsolete - if your needs change or if newer better cameras are introduced just upgrade your cameras while keeping your scanning platform and software package.

Advantages
Natively flat
BookDrive eliminates the need for page curvature correction because it produces natively flat images in the first place. This hardware approach results in faster operating time and more reliable result than the software manipulation techniques used by overhead scanners that produce curved pages.
V shape is better than 180°
BookDrive's V-shaped cradle provides better support for your battered old books than conventional 180° cradles. Scanning is performed without laying books out flat and applying undesirable force to bindings.
Large format support
Further setting it apart from competing offerings, BookDrive Pro has the ability to scan oversized books -- up to A2, newspaper size -- and heavy, cumbersome items such as deed registries
Upgradable
When new, improved camera models become available, users need only to replace their cameras -- not the entire scanning system as is the case with other offerings. BookDrive offers the best value proposition in the industry, as it will never become obsolete.
Well-lit, glare-free images
The LED lighting system in BookDrive Pro is engineered to distribute light evenly across the entire scanning surface. This produces well-lit images free of glare, even on glossy papers. See comparison between glare and glare-free images here.
