thanks so much, guys, for your suggestions. I'm glad to know there are compatible scanners that are better designed to scan books that the good old Epsons and I think I am going to give the 3800 a try. Books are what I scan about 90% of the time.

They have the 3800 and 4800 out now but I know the only thing is they did away with the setting of the lamp.

My scanner died yesterday and I just wanted to know if anyone here has any suggestions for scanners to use with K1000. I don't think the Epson scanner that I had is available any longer. I also contacted Kurzweil but they're not testing scanners these days so suggested I stick with Epsons but that was about all the advice they could give. Your help would be much appreciated!!!
