I’m a fan of the Giraffe too and admire what Sam Jewel is trying to do.
However, and this is a point I’ve made to him in my feedback, I think that due
to his relatively low production volume and the cottage industry nature of how
it’s made, the price, for what the device is is rather too high and probably
puts many people off.

Hi Alison.
If you want a good document stand for your iPhone, head on over to
www.giraffe-reader.com. It's made here in the UK and is available for the
princely sum of around £35 or so, not much at all when you consider how
useful and robust it is. Great for iPhone's up to the 5S and the iPod Touch
range, Sam who makes this stand is also working on a version for the iPhone 6
and 6 plus.
All the best, Ibrahim.

I have just been listening to the Apple-Vis podcast on KNFB where they are
announcing the free 25 scans on the new upgrade. It says something about you
being able to download the locked version but once your 25 free scans have
expired, you will need to pay the $99.99.
What did interest me is the new feature for scanning multiple pages. I know
about the Giraffe but it would appear there are other stands which can also
be used to assist with scanning multi-pages. What do folk on this list use?
Also, in the demonstration, they are using a Bluetooth keyboard to
manipulate the app. How easy/fiddly is it to operate in the usual fashion,
swiping and tapping etc.

Hi, Looks as though Try Before You Buy is not here quite yet.
Having researched this a bit more, it looks as though that tweet is
correct. So I guess those who want to try it will have to wait for
2.1. Sorry Eleanor.
All the best
Steve

There is a little confusion as to whether or not this try before you
buy is actually available. A tweet from them says:
Due to an unforeseen problem, Try Before You Buy is not available in
V2.0 but is coming soon in V2.1.
Still, the update to 2.0 is there in the app store and says that you
can now try free for 25 pictures.
Cheers
