$35,000 book scanner – make a LEGO version?

Gizmodo & i4U have posts about a $35k book scanner, it seems really neat and eventually they will come down in price – but I have an old collection of out of print books I want to scan in (now). I’m guessing I’m not alone, so we’ll likely see a few DIY versions sprouting up soon, perhaps one with a LEGO page turner (like this old project) Link.
