I like this idea very much, but I haven't been able to find a suitable track (The ones I've found are very heavy) Do you know where can I find a source for this in the net?

I'm will be adapting this for an iphone with the clariff case

The track material should be available at most hardware stores. It has different finishes (chrome, gold, bronze), but I think all are iron ... and comparably heavy. When cut up for the frame it doesn't seem overly heavy, and it is nice and rigid.

Hi, I like your idea.. We have a couple of professinal versions at work.
The Copibook HD and we have one Copibook RGB+.

Your book scanner would be much better, if you could make the mount like on the copibook
