Is there a kit that can be bought online?
I may not have the time and energy to do a DIY, but have an immediate requirement to procure one. Any leads / directions / websites would be really appreciated.
Thank you!

The software has automatic page-turn detection (so you don’t have to repeatedly press the scan button); has page-curve correction and deskew; and automatically removes fingers/thumbs from the image, in case you need to hold the pages down. Neat!
Like another commenter, I used 1dollarscan to digitize many books (to save space) but I agree that that process was more expensive than expected (and destroyed my physical books, which I have come to regret). If I had known about the scanner I just linked to, I probably would have invested in one instead.
Off-topic, but apparently Ricoh has acquired the ScanSnap brand from Fujitsu. (News to me, at least.) But unless Ricoh has changed something, in my experience it’s hard to go wrong with the ScanSnap brand for personal scanning needs.
(I have no affiliation with the companies or brands mentioned.)
But none of them are available or selling it currently.
Also, the forum looks dead / defunct.
No noticeable activity on any thread! Sad to see such a vibrant community gone extinct.
I know it is not an active area unlike other DIY and the requirements are also very low. But still....!
