a lot of use the Plustek opticbook 3600 and love it. It is a scanner
manufactured for libraries and archivists so is very durable. It has an edge
which allows scanning of books right up into the binding and is very fast. We
got ours from amazon for about $250 including delivery. I think you will go
through two or three epsons in the time it would take the plustek to fail.

Subject: [bookshare-discuss] Scanner buying advice please
Hi List:
My scanner just died. I had an Epson 3170. I was not too happy with it
because it heated up after approximately 100 pages and I would have to turn it
off to let it cool. But still I was dealing with it. Now it makes funny noises
and says scan failed. I don't think it can be resurrected.
I'd like something that scans 15 secs or less. I probably can spend about
$200. I'd prefer to spend less though. *grin*
This is really bad timing for the scanner to die. I have been motivated to
scan.
Thanks for the advice.
