That would be good statistic for them to list: "1 out of every XX,XXX gets lost in transit". They might use a priority shipping method and pre-addressed box to help prevent that kind of incident.

I personally don't really have a use for the service. A document scanner allows me to use whatever paper I want and scan whatever I want.

It is an interesting idea though if there is a market for this type of service.

I was trying to think of a way to embed a scanner into the front cover of a notebook (with replaceable pages) but it just didn't seem practical, a flatbed or feed scanner works about as good as you're going to get.

Plus, these days you can just take a picture with your phone and be done with it. I do that for whiteboards for content I want to save before erasing them.

That's a good idea. A friend of mine created a little wooden stand and holder for his phone on his desk. Once he's done with a piece, he puts the phone in the holder, swings it around and takes a picture on a delay so he has time to hold the pages down. I believe he also has markings on the desk so he can position his papers/books correctly.

Of course, this might be way more trouble than most people are willing to go through.
