I want to do this with all my books and paperwork (old bills, receipts, notes from college, photographs (crappy snapshots, really)). This was my plan: Buy a ScanSnap s1500m for $420. It does double sided scans at 20 ppm but that doesn't include OCR time or paper jams. Let's guess it averages 500 pages an hour. Pay a neighbor kid $10 an hour to cut and scan. Even if I sold the scanner when I was done, this is still way cheaper. It's a shame they don't scan things besides books. Although, I'm not sure I want to send my old tax forms to a sweatshop...
