Camscanner
A free mobile app that corrects distortions from camera angles.
personal tip: use a bright light and don't have any shadows cast on the pages when shooting';

'Yes, a linear book scanner. It's a triangle with scanners that slides the book across it to scan and turn each page.

Google open-sourced their implementation: https://code.google.com/archive/p/linear-book-scanner/';

There’s an app called Scannable that is actually super convenient on the phone and you snap a pic of whatever in the app and it turns into a black & white .pdf file.';

'Before fucking with this, scour the internet to see if an e-book/pdf version of the book you're trying to scan doesn't already exist.';

Something like the Plustek Opticbook 3800 would be good as it scans right up to the edge of the bed. I'm looking at a few for good prices on eBay UK right now.';

Go to a university library they should have these machines with lights and scannes and a moveable plate to place the book on to neutralize back wobble. These machines were specifically designed for it and will scan it straight to s usb stick or to your unviersity email. Forgot what theyre called tho';

thats why most people resort to unbinding the book instead.
your other option is to just press it on a flatbed scanner, but that will obviously leave artifacts and distortion from where the page bends into the spine
your best bet would rigging a little phone stand together and hoping theres a good app that can account for the distortion of the bent book pages.';

'Theres an app called Genius scan that will scan with your phones camera and make it black & white and skew things back to square to compensate for your camera angle. It's really nice. Probably time consuming but you know that.';
