I can see how their device would be good for old or rare books, but for anything mass market -- which seems to me would be the majority of what end-users want to "rip" (so they can take it with them on some portable device) -- it seems like it'd be easier to de-bind and run the pages through a duplexing scanner.
The software itself seems pretty good, what they need to do is incorporate all the dependencies into a single monolithic installer. The external dependencies significantly raise the bar for someone just interested in playing with the application who might otherwise install it.

Other designs allow you to remove the binding so the pages can be dropped into a sheet-fed scanner. Whichever method you use, the resulting images can be processed with our software to make user-friendly files in a variety of formats."
