Commercial book scanners are not like normal scanners; these book scanners are usually a high quality digital camera with light sources on either side of the camera mounted on some sort of frame to provide easy access for a person or machine to flip through the pages of the book.
Komercijalni skeneri knjiga nisu poput običnih skenera; ovakvi skeneri su obično kvalitetni digitalni fotoaparati s izvorom svjetla s obje strane kamere, montirani na neku vrstu okvira, čime se pruža jednostavan pristup osobi ili stroju za okretanje stranica knjige.
