It depends on what kinds of material you want to scan. If you intend doing
standard mass market paperbacks, you will most likely be using two-page mode
with the left and right sides of the book on the scanner bed at once across the
top of the scanner. If you intend to do many hardback or trade paperback
books, the only bookedge scanners available come from Plustek.
Right now, I'm having computer problems and both my systems came from the
local computer store. If I have to get a new system, I shouldn't buy from
them. I know of people who have had problems with HP so I shouldn't buy from
them. I know of people who have problems with Dell, and that means I shouldn't
buy from them. Maybe I should buy an E-machine. <grin>

Well, to each his own! It would be one thing if they had a staff, and you
just happened to get a bad customer-service rep once in a while. Anyway, who
we do business with and for what reasons is definitely a mater of preference...
I'm entitled to my opinion! <Smile>

Well, I don't know of too many people who had tech support problems with
the Plustek OpticBook 3600. After that, however, I'd use whatever's current in
the Epson Perfection line or check the refurb stock.
Btw, if rudeness by any particular employee is going to be a reason never
to do business with a manufacturer, we might as well go back to stone tablets.

Hi, everyone! Looks like my scanner has died. I've been using an Epson
Perfection 1660, and K1000 keeps saying that every page I scan is blank. I've
tried several books with it, and I'm not seeing the light come on after the
scan is done. Can anyone recommend a good replacement? Do the Epsons still
work pretty well? If Laura Ann hadn't had so many horror stories with their
tech support, I would consider the OpticBook. However, I have no intention of
supporting a company with rude tech people... I deal with enough rudeness in my
ministry work!! <LOL> Thanks!!
