I'd get a book-edge without question. -----Original Message----- From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Terra Syslo Sent: Saturday, October 02, 2010 4:56 PM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: question about scanning Hi, I was actually given the pearl by the commission or the blind to use for college, so I plan to save up for a good scanner. Trying to decide whether to go with a book edge or just a flatbed scanner, since I plan to get a lot of my books from the library to start with. -----Original Message----- From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Monica Willyard Sent: Saturday, October 02, 2010 4:37 PM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: question about scanning Hi Terra. I'm sorry you're having trouble with the Pearl. I hope you don't find my post rude because my intent is to be helpful. I imagine you bought the Pearl as a bundle with Openbook 9. Is there any chance Freedom Scientific will refund your money for the Pearl part of your purchase, letting you use your Openbook by itself? Then you could spend the refunded money on a good scanner from Epson or another company of your choice. I don't own a Pearl, so I can't help you at all there. You and Larry are the only people I know who have a Pearl, and it just doesn't seem ready for prime time. If they'll refund some of your money, you can get a decent scanner for around $100. -- Monica Willyard Visit my GoodReads book shelf at http://www.goodreads.com/plumlipstick To unsubscribe from this list send a blank Email to bksvol-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put the word 'unsubscribe' by itself in the subject line.
