The deeper I research, the more I am finding the ultimate recommendation is either 100s of hours of DIY work or $10K on a Smithsonian-level archivist machine.

My use case is digitizing books only available in hard copy. For personal reading, Ctrl+F capabilities, and sharing with fellow enthusiasts. Essentially, digitizing books where the pages are searchable, not crooked, no weird artifacts, etc. Does such a middle ground actually exist?
