Hi, Valerie! Yes, that helps a lot. I don't have a Mac, so I'm probably just
fine. :) Blessings!

Speaking from my personal experience, the biggest difference is that the 3800
is a little faster. The reason I had to switch as I was using it in Boot Camp
on a Mac, and I had problems with the lamp turning off in Windows on a Mac.
They have a patch for it that works on most machines but not on a Mac.
HTH!

Thanks, Larry and Sandi! I wondered if the OpticBook might be my best option.
I have an opportunity to buy a used 3600... Does anyone know if there's a
significant difference between the two models? Thanks again for your help!

I second Larry’s recommendation. I have done many thousands of pages with my
OpticBook 3800 and K1000. I have had the scanner three years, and have never
had a problem with it. It’s a real workhorse, the book-edge feature lets you
get all the letters in the margins in books where they’re squished in, and the
scans are phenomenal. Not perfect, but I’ve used several other scanners, and
this one with K1000 is the closest to perfect I’ve ever come.

Hi. I find the Kurzweil scanner page to be very old and ut of date. Many of
us are using the Plustech Opticbook 3800 book-edge scanner and liking it very
much. It runs a bit more than many epsons selling for $239 or so but I think
it well worth the cost.

Hi, all! It looks like my faithful Epson scanner didn't weather my recent move
very well, so I need a new one. I have the KNFB reader for my iPhone, but I'm
not sure how well it does with books. Does anyone have suggestions for
scanners that work well with K1000? I'm going to check Kurzweil's website as
well... Hopefully, they still have that page that talks about how compatible
different scanners are with it. But any suggestion is appreciated! <Smile>
Thanks!
Jana
