Camera stability

Love the app. I just ask that you add camera stability because when holding the phone to the book, after a while, my arm and hands get tired and start shaking a bit.

Fantastic

As a collage artist who uses old books this app has been a time and patience saver! No more trying to find an ebook or pdf version that doesn’t exist! Have recommended to many artist friends
