Hi Tito,
After reading what you intend to do with the scanner, I think you can do a
pretty job scanning documents using a phone camera with good quality
instead. Besides, it won't be difficult to carry around - it'll just be in
your pocket
I, for instance, scan documents using my phone, which fortunately, has 20
megapixel. I use the software called Camscanner[1] which works well on
Android. It allows converting your scanning into PDF and other formats for
safe keeping.
Of course you don't need a 20 megapixel camera to scan documents. Somewhere
8 to 12 megapixel is enough to get HD quality of documents, if that's what
you're aiming for.
Though not scanning,[2] I could get some nice pictures with just with my
phone, just to show that, with careful orientation, you can scan, even
better documents with your phone

Just my suggestion.
