Most companies that do this sort of thing would consider this a pretty small job. I worked at a company that did this for major lawsuits (a couple were in national news at the time) and a good one for us was 10 million documents (not pages). It employed a small army of paralegals doing keywords to classify them.

Honestly, if I were you I'd look into just getting a printer/scanner combo with a document feeder and pay some kid to babysit it. I have a Canon MX870 and like it, although for 10K pages you might want something with higher capacity.

ETA: The printer I mentioned goes for about $150, you could pay said kid $10/hr and do it for a few hundred, probably. Less than Kinko's, anyway.

Thanks - it's looking like buying a scanner may be the most affordable option. I can also probably get some value for it on craigslist once I'm done with it.
