# Digital Book Converters The Ion Book Saver Converts Hard Copies Digital By Michael Hines | Published 2011-01-13 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ion-book-saver References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/book-saver-scanner-from-ion-unveiled/17532/) & [ionaudio](http://www.ionaudio.com/booksaver) I fully expect to see a spike in the popularity of [e-Readers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/durobo-krono) once the Ion Book Saver is released. The Ion Book Saver is an innovative gadget from Ion Audio that converts hard copies of books into digital form. The Ion Book Saver [takes pictures of each page](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iochowx1) of a book and saves them onto an SD card. The Book Saver can copy two pages a second and can bang out a 200-page tome in 15 minutes. While no release date has been set, the Book Saver is expected to sell for $149.
