Guido, I beliefe I'm spacially challenged, but in reading this description, I don't see how one would do two page scanning with this scanner. The description sounded as if they are expecting the book spine to be at the scanner edge. Yet, if I do two pages at once, the book's spine is certainly not near the edge; its in the middle, more or less, of the scanner, running across or down the length, depending on whether its a mass market paperback or a larger trade paper or standard hard cover book that is being scanned. If I have to scan one page at a time with this, I'm underwhelmed, to say the least. It would be good for those larger books where you can't do two pages at once on a regular scanner; but that's about it. What am I missing here? Mary
