I thought k1000 was a scanning product, you mean there is a scanner with that name too?
What is it like and where can you get it? Julia----- Original Message ----- From: "Grandma Cindy" <popularplace@xxxxxxxxx>

It doesn't matter how old or bad the scanner is if the submitter proofreads it before submitting it. It may be more work for the submitter, but otherwise it's more work for the validator and the submitter shouldn't get the same amount of monetary credit. Or the submitter can buy a new scanner. It doesn't have to be the wonderful but expensive K1000; it can be an Epson, which varies in price depending on the model, but I think some refurbished ones are less than $100. I know money is tight, but expenses made for charitable purposes can be deducted, if you happen to itemize.

If I read a book that is well scanned it doesn't matter whether it was scanned by 1994 technology or at 80 pages a minute (I'm still boggled with that number). What I care about is, can I read the book without having to do mental guesswork as I go.
