HI Laura Ann, In general the Epson scanners are very popular with people on the list. I originally got a Canon RD2080C but it is a ADF only. I love the scanner but ended up looking for a flat bed also. One scanner which is rather new but is a little more money than some of the Epson's is the Opticbook 3600 which is a flat bed scanner with a book edge. There has been a lot of discussion on this scanner on the Kurzweil list. IT can get a 99 plus recognition rate consistently and does a page every 4 seconds. You can get it for about $250 a number of places online. IN general the opinion is to stay away from the all in one scanners since they can be persnickety.

I am having trouble with mine and think it is dying. That might be why I lost my book I scanned in yesterday....it keeps locking up on me. Any suggestions? I am using XP windows and Jaws latest version and latest version of Kursweil. My scanner is an epson and I have never liked it.
