We discussed this product last year: http://www.puritanboard.com/showthread.php/88219-Scan-a-Book-in-Five-Minutes
It was ordered as a Christmas present for me in November and arrived about a week and a half ago. Construction is solid and it works well once you figure it out.
The WiFi setup on it is a bit kludgey. You have to literally program it by a sound file so it's not for the weak of heart tech wise. They actually had a configuration problem on their servers which prevented me from setting up my scanner so I just plugged it in via USB.
The operation is very quick and it automatically aligns and crops either pieces of paper (or objects) or book pages. It actually comes with yellow thumb covers so you can hold book pages down as you scan them (using a foot pedal) and then it removes the thumb prints from the text.
It ends up producing a bunch of images that you are then able to assemble into a PDF through the software.
This is made by a Chinese company and the software is not the most intuitive to use with some strange wording but, overall, I'm very happy with this product. It cuts way down on the time it takes to scan books.
My kids think it's cool. I actually scanned my son's head just because I could.
