Digital Camera, Imaging Bound Books



Greetings:

Anybody out there had any success or unexpected problems 
in using a 3-4 megapixel digital camera for text imaging?  Is it
possible to get 2-300 dpi as sharp as a scanner?

  Also, has anybody tried setting up a simple jig for imaging pages 
from books that can't be laid flat (eg. by sliding a mirror into a partly 
opened book, then photographing & reversing the reflection)?

  Thanks,
  Doug Cooper
