  HI Robert, 

   

  That is a good price! IT sounds like the price has come down a little since 
last fall. 

   

  I still have the June 14th drivers installed and haven't heard a lot about 
the new drivers.. Pros or cons. 

   

  You will enjoy the scanner!

  I went ahead and got my from the plustek website. I probably could have 
checked around but they had it on sale for $229.95 plus shipping. Okay, from 
the discussions before I don't have to install the software, just go to the 
plustek website and download the latest drivers but heard two different dates, 
febuary of 2006 and june of 2006.

      I would have to echo Prattik's comments. Also being a bookedge scanner 
you won't have to hold books down on the flat bed. I would say the most strain 
would be when scanning a large hard cover book, balancing the book until the 
two half's equal out a bit. 

      The scanner and Kurzweil both keep up as fast as I can flip and hit scan. 
Quality all and all is very goodJ

      Depending on how much you're planning to spend, you might want to 
consider the Opticbook 3600 scanner from Plustek (www.plustek.com).  It can be 
a bit querky, but manageable.  I don't recommend HP scanners at this time.  
some of the cannons aren't too bad either.  You can't beat the Plustek in speed.

      Kurzweil does not recommend HP scanners since you cannot control the 
dark-light feature. I have an HP scanner and this is what I found. I bought an 
Epson scanner which didn't work so I returned it and kept my HP scanner. 
However, I am thinking about getting a Canon since the HP is not great. Also, 
most HP scanners are not compatible with the Kurzweil software. You might want 
to call Kurzweil, technical support and ask the technician before you spend 
your money for an inadequate scanner.

        This is the new scanner I'm thinking on getting. Here is my question 
though. With the use on my left hand and limited use of my right, iS it easy to 
use the ADF which comes with it and how do you use it with kurzweil? I saw flip 
side in the menus and was wondering if you put the first page in and somehow 
make it do the flip side somehow. If someone can give me the step by step 
instructions, thanks in advance. I have a hard cover book here that I brought 
of a book that is going to be redone because there are too manny errors in the 
copy on bookshare.
