They chose a pretty bad name for their website.

What happens when they need to charge more (or less) than one dollar? Also, they're also locking themselves into the "scanning" market with the word 'scan' in their domain name.

Why would they need to charge more? And the nice thing about computer tech is that with dropping costs, you don't have to change the price, just the quantity each $1 buys you...

(Right now $1 only buys you 100 pages, which is an awful small book.)

Reminds me of another company with a (misspelled) number in its name. See https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Googol

Seems a safe bet that scanning equipment and methods will decline in cost faster than the US dollar.
