#2The page loads fast but the images are crawling, they really need to get these things on to a CDN or scale them down to the size they are displayed at (the file size of one of these things that I checked is 2 megabytes, and the server is transferring at 50KB/s or less)

#4Has the Snapscan scanner or equivalent become uncool for generation Y ?

#5Here's their website: http://modnotebooks.com/
The secret is that you mail the notebooks back to them and they digitize the contents for you.

Because their images are: 3264×2448 and they are using the browser to scale.

#7Congrats to the team for a successful launch. I will be interested to see how this scales.
PS: Please make your images smaller - I only saw the first 50% of your images by the time I was done reading

What happens if the book is lost in transit? Isn't that worse than "forget them forever when I leave it in a dusty box somewhere"?

That would be good statistic for them to list: "1 out of every XX,XXX gets lost in transit". They might use a priority shipping method and pre-addressed box to help prevent that kind of incident.
I personally don't really have a use for the service. A document scanner allows me to use whatever paper I want and scan whatever I want.
It is an interesting idea though if there is a market for this type of service.
I was trying to think of a way to embed a scanner into the front cover of a notebook (with replaceable pages) but it just didn't seem practical, a flatbed or feed scanner works about as good as you're going to get.
Plus, these days you can just take a picture with your phone and be done with it. I do that for whiteboards for content I want to save before erasing them.
