Um,I'm not sure this is a great alternative, as this scanner chops out a page for every scan. After that, I don't think it really matters how gentle it is...

Unless you're concerned with binding the pages to form a new book. I think that would be possible with the leftovers.

I think you are mistaken. Neither of the machines appear to chop pages out.

You're right! My mistake. It looked like there was a sort of deli-slicer blade and suction to remove pages, but, looking again, it's not what's happening. That's what I get for posting pre morning coffee...
