I've thought about doing this as well for the twice a year I need to
copy a single page. I haven't actually seen this produce for sale, but
otherwise the Pagebrush hand scanner from Mouse Systems seems like the
best of the hand scanners. Because it uses mouse technology you scan a
page in the same way you would wipe fog off of a mirror. I saw it work
at Macworld Boston and it was pretty smooth. I don't know why it isn't
for sale obviously yet, but I'd call Mouse Systems and ask if I were
you. Heck, I'm going to call them and ask even though I'm not you :-).

good luck....  Adam
