Totally agree. I also have the Epson Perfection and I am quite pleased with it. Of course, price depends a lot on whether you want an auto feed or flat bed, i.e. one page at a time. If you go with the flatbed, You can get a perfectly good, name brand one for less than $100. I think that the speed depends on the OCR software and how much RAM your pc has. As I've said elsewhere, Omni Page Pro beats Open Book by a mile for half the price. It makes Open Book look sick. _____ From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Gerald Levy Sent: Tuesday, December 09, 2008 1:19 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: fast accurate scanner for openbook 8 I'm using an Epson Perfection 4490 with Open Book, and it seems to be pretty accurate, if not super fast. So any scanner in the Epson Perfection line may serve your needs. The scanning speed is probably more a function of Open Book, rather than the scanner itself. ----- Original Message ----- From: Robbie <mailto:Robbie.Miller@xxxxxxxxxxx> Miller To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, December 09, 2008 11:19 AM Subject: fast accurate scanner for openbook 8 Guys, I have openbook 8 and an old Microtec scanner.
