Hi Derik,
the Canoscan Lide 70 scanner by canon should be ok as it seems to be a model
up from one I have used. However, The one I am going to get is the Opticbook
3600 which is a great scanner. This will work with both Openbook and
Kurzweil. This scanner also allows you to scan a book right up to the spine.

Good luck and hope this helps.

Kindest Regards,

Ibby Karbhari

Derek, I couldn't comment on your scanner because I've had my Epson for a 
long time and it still performs well.  But while I've nothing against the 
spec of the Tosh they are recommending, I wouldn't look past an HP now 
because, having had mine for three months, it's never off.  I've never 
really got into laptops for a lot of reasons, but the HP models are 
brilliant for the fact they have the numeric keypad, and I think that's 
helpful to save trying to remember JFW combined keystrokes.  Obviously 
you'll be using it for study or work purposes, so putting music through it 
might be an aside, but the HP is brill for that too.

If you can customise the software that sometimes comes with HP and Compaq 
machines, you're laughing I reckon.  But it's down to personal choice, and 
others here might say different, and that's what makes it interesting.

Good luck.

Jackie
