Scanning a book manually is a colossal pain in the ass. Scanning a book with the DL 3000 Book Scanner, on the other hand, is easy and hypnotizing. Just look at that sucker go! It can scan a whopping 3,000 pages per hour, tearing through a whole stack of books every day. Want one? Too bad: this guy will run you $250,000. [Red Ferret via Boing Boing Gadgets]
