Mary, I am not sure what we are missing. I was interpreting the scanner
as having the platen flush to both the left and right edges, which would
allow for better single-page scanning of largish hardcovers, rather than a
wedge-shaped platen which would allow for true two page scanning. As the
description is rather poor, we will need to wait until someone receives
one of these things.

Guido,
I beliefe I'm spacially challenged, but in reading this description, I
don't see how one would do two page scanning with this scanner. The
description sounded as if they are expecting the book spine to be at the
scanner edge. Yet, if I do two pages at once, the book's spine is
certainly not near the edge; its in the middle, more or less, of the
scanner, running across or down the length, depending on whether its a
mass market
paperback or a larger trade paper or standard hard cover book that is
being scanned. If I have to scan one page at a time with this, I'm
underwhelmed, to say the least. It would be good for those larger books
where
you can't do two pages at once on a regular scanner; but that's about it.
What am I missing here?
Mary
