That's the sort of thing where I'd definately use a digital camera
and correct for the lens distortion in software, using a flatbed
scanner would be entirely impractical for that if you're not
willing to chop the spine off the notebooks and use a page feeder.

Scan Tailor is the software that I tried out for doing the
post-processing (removing lens distortion, cropping) and it seems
quite good. Post-processing with it is still a fair bit of work
(hence I haven't got around to it) depending on how good your
rig is, but you'd make up for that easily with time saved doing
the actual scanning.

Rigging up something like the professional book scanning tables
where you can lift up a piece of glass and then rest it down on
the paper to make it sit flat after you turn each page might be
worthwhile for your application as well.
