If I buy flat scanner one, will shadow like that won't appear in the picture?
You have to press down on the book to get rid of some of the shadows, "folding the page at the binding and pushing down helps" but in the end you still have to clean the scan,

You can cut the book to have the best scan but personally there are scanners out there that has the book at a 90 degree angle at the binding and then the scanner scans it to the edge but they are around $2200

The difference of the all in one printer/scanner and the flatbed scanner is the DPI and scanning speed, the all in one is slower then the flatbed I believe, and the different DPI settings for each can have a different dpi "All in one" 600-4,800 DPI and "Flatbed" 600-6,400 DPI at around the same price, also the higher DPI the slower the scan is.
