Abstract
A portable apparatus for reproducing individual pages of a bound document without optical distortion or damage to the bound document, including a substantially flat sensor array which may be inserted between pages of a book. Sensors scan one or both opposed pages. Alternatively, the sensor array surfaces may be set at an angle, also creating a reproduction apparatus capable of insertion between pages of a bound document.
