Cheers for the feedback guys.  I guess ideally what I am after is a digital 
camera on an arm like the one you get as part of the Eye-Pal package.  THe 
benefit of that is you just pop your page under it and it snaps a digital photo 
which means that you can theoretically scan a letter in a second.

The downsides are that Eye-Pal costs about £1800, it only works on Windows and 
the software is awful.

The camera scanner is a cool idea though and must be fairly cheap to make as 
has no moving parts, wonder why no mainstream manufacturers sell them.

I am very impatient when scanning letters and find flatbeds to be frustratingly 
slow.
