Hello Maithe:
It does not turn pages. You must turn pages and flip the book if you are doing
single page scans, which is what I do. The scanner is fast. It scans a page in
about 5 seconds, takes about 2 seconds to return ready for next scan. I find
that while the scanner is returning to start position this gives me time to
flip the book or turn the page. So there isn't a lot of lost time when doing
the scans. I find that I can scan 350 page book in about an hour.

Hi!
I have a question about this scanner...what is the big difference between
this one and other scanners? I know the scan is better, but is it really
faster? I was reading about it and it said something about being able to
turn the pages without having to move it? Maybe I misunderstood. What is
the real difference that you have found?
