Hmm..., if you want to have a hinge that can disconnect, that may be an issue. But, when you scan the textbook, just cut off the black parts of the scanned image. The Visioneer 9420 is fairly cheap (around $120 US), and has a great resolution at 9600x4800 optical resolution. Or, there is this Canon with an expanding lid, but it only has a 2400x4800 optical resolution.

One thing to keep in mind with scanners is that if it doesn't specify optical or interpolated resolution, it is probably interpolated, not always, but probably. Optical resolution is much better, especially if you want higher quality images, so optical is what you really should be looking for. More information is in the Scanner 101 thread located in this subforum.
