That's true of the Plustek OpticBook as well. With the Epsons, it's been
install the driver and then turn on the scanner, so far. The Plustek goes the
other way: connect the scanner, turn it on and install the software drivers
when the wizard gives the option of where to point. Again, while the
Perfections are great (I've had a 1240 and now have a 1660), if you plan to do
trade or hardcover, the Plustek handles that better. There will always be some
books with execrable margins which can't be helped. I once tried to do some
histories by Thomas Costain and the margins were to tight for any scanning with
any scanner without complete dismantling of the book. It wasn't my book and I
had to return it to the library.

I have also had great luck with Epson scanners. I used an Epson Perfection
2400 when I was living in another part of the country. Then, after moving, I
bought a refurbished Epson Perfection V100 for $75 including shipping last
April and it's worked excellently since then.
Also, when I've heard people ask on the K1000 support list, Epson comes up
as one of the most frequent manufacturers recommended.
One problem with the Epsons that I have found though is that installation
can be difficult if you rely solely on speech access. One way to get around
this is to go to Epson's web site after getting the scanner and installing
just the drivers for your particular model. That's a good idea anyway, since
the ones you get on the CD can be outdated. I know the ones for my current
scanner were.

Hi Jana,
I'm so sorry you're having scanner problems.
I use an Epson Perfection and have had good results with it. Before that I
had
an HP scanner that I used for 11 years.
Blessings.
