I saw one version where they built a robot arm (using LEGO, I think) to turn the pages. The process had thereby been completely automated.
I also understand there is a Japanese company that does such scanning (and reasonably priced). Last time I looked, they had a backlog of months. I feel I am still caught in the past, as in so many ways I still prefer physical books. It's clear that my interest in books is something of a notoriety in the neighbourhood, as I found out that people used my house as a reference point ("turn left at the library"). I was kind of embarrassed when I heard that.
