Photo people: cheap camera for book pages?
#8
When you get the camera, spend a little time experimenting with the settings. I noticed an HP camera that has a special setting for photographing documents (but that's not enough to recommend that camera). So experiment with some settings, perhaps contrast.

Lighting is important. If you can set up a light table with light coming from both sides at around 45 degree angles, that will give you more consistently readable results.

Otherwise, I have taken many pictures out of books just using an area of bright, even shade on the back porch. Not perfect, but good enough for PowerPoints.
