Cool idea, but your sample (https://www.papersync.co/static/PaperSync_sample.pdf) isn't really selling it. The resolution is a lot lower than I would expect and there are JPEG artefacts all over the place. If the sample really is representative, I suggest looking into improving the output quality. I doubt you built a "fast, hi-res, scanning setup that uses DSLR’s and some other neat hardware & software" just so you could deliver low-res over-compressed PDFs.
Thanks for the feedback! We are using a setup similar to http://www.diybookscanner.org/ for this and the scan quality is very high. The sample PDF was scaled down and compressed to reduce file size. I'll put up a high-res version in a bit.
For the actual service, you can download each individual high-res page scans.
I have to agree, I was almost in and I know a friend of mine would be (he's got a pile of 100 notebooks laying in his closet).. but that PDF was a letdown. (Time to grab my paper cutter, chop off a binding and get my ScanSnap out again)
