you can do very well copying manuals and such with a

interested, no problem.
I keep several of the Canon LIDE models that are usb powered. If you
can walk in with a battery powered laptop somewhere with these, you
can scan with a bed scanner at full resolution.
I strongly recommend collecting them, as they regularly show up at
thrift shops, and swap meets. they were not very expensive, but
run quite well with only the laptop in site.
then you just need a spotter :-)
