DIY Kindle Scanner Utilizes the Fun Power of Legos

This do-it-yourself Kindle scanner is probably the best possible outcome from a union of Legos and Kindle. The contraption is a scanning tool for your eBooks. As you can see in the mesmerizing video, the machine loops several actions that scans each page of your eBooks. One pushes the next page on the kindle while another pushes the spacebar to capture its image. It’s like reading time for your computer’s camera.
