I do the same thing. This also has the benefit that my phone won't try to rotate the image as I'm rotating the phone to get the scanner to read it.

When I'm in email or on a webpage, flipping or rotating the phone causes the page to flip around and usually the image is no longer centered correctly. (I'm sure there's a way to prevent this but I haven't figured it out yet. Saving the JPG to my photo gallery is easy enough.)

Of course, I still usually have that paper BP with me too...just in case. Yes, I know that somewhat defeats the purpose.
