Hello Brian, I scan both single sheets and whole books.
I use a Cannon Lide 700F portable USB scanner with my 2007 white MacBook. In VueScan, you can set it to single or multi-page scanning. You can also set it to auto-repeat so that you don't have to keep pressing Cmd-N on the computer. After pressing Cmd-G to tell VueScan that the last page has been scanned, ABBYY FineReader is launched automatically. I've set a shortcut key for creating a text file, so all I have to enter is the filename. I generally scan a double-page at a time and have scanned over a hundred such double-page spreads into one file and had FineReader recognise them. VueScan comes in two flavours now: 32-bit and 64-bit. It all depends on your scanner which one you need. My Cannon Lide 700F works with the 64-bit version, whereas my much older CAnnon Pixma MP170 only works with the 32-bit version. In System Preferences, I've set my Cannon Lide 700F to open VueScan when I press the Scan button. However, I cant get VueScan to recognise the buttons on my scanner, despite the fact that there are popup buttons to configure the scanner buttons. I need to look into this further.
