Hi Jackie, Yep, it does. I use a Cano-Scan Lide-60 portable USB powered scanner and it works fine on my Netbook.

This scanner works well on my NC10 with both K1000 and Open Book, though it is mains powered as well. To my knowledge, a portable scanner would work on the Netbook.

Does a netbook, specifically the Samsung NC10, have enough power through its USB ports to run one of the scanners which doesn't run off the mains.
