Ah, I would consider capturing the images in this manner to
be slow. You have to manually flip pages and reposition the
book in the scanner -- ? It's got to take 10+ (20+??) seconds
to perform that action? So, even a 250p "pocket paperback"
would be > 1200 (2400??) seconds just to scan! And then "collect"?
[I.e., 95K scans would have taken 950K seconds -- 16000 minutes
(~250 hours)]
Generally photographing the pages takes me 30 minutes to
an hour. I mostly scanned books of 250 to 300 pages.
And most of the books, being older, were somewhat smaller.
There weren't a whole lot of 1000 page fiction works
in the 'good old days'.
I think that the increase in the size of books can
probably be blamed on word processors. With a
word processor you can revise, insert and delete
text a lot more easily than with a typewriter.
