I have personally found that it is less to do with the relative merits software 
but the sheer ergonomics of trying to scan books with a mobile camera.  Most 
paperbacks do not lie flat and that can be a bit of a problem because one hand 
is taking a picture and the other holding the thing flat.  I don't find the 
process very comfortable with results somewhat congruent to that.

If you want to do a lot of books a flatbed scanner is still the best answer and 
will give more consistent results.  Where Beyo and KNFB et al come into their 
own are the loose bits of paper you might come across on your travels 
throughout the day.
