I bought this device about 6 months ago and have used it for gathering an incredible amount of data from libraries, newspapers, magazines, maps on the wall and just about anything, anywhere, as long as it is flat. It's unbelievable and so handy. Combine that with a good camera and you're golden.
It's a scanner that doesn't need a computer. You scan documents at one of two different DPI levels. They are stored in memory inside this device which is about the size of a thick ruler. I have a 16Gbyte memory card in mine which will save around 8,000 pages at 600DPI and 20,000 pages at 300DPI. You download it into a computer when you get back to your office.
Have a look at it here. It doesn't come with a memory card but you can order one from the catalog on the site.

This is handy in places that won't allow you to set up your computer and scanner to copy documents. It's so small that most people don't even realize that you have it. At $85.00 post paid, it's a researcher's dream.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.
