Hi Jackie,
I just took a look at the Openbook scanner info page to see what they say
about speed. I knew either the 1670 or 1650 was slow, but I couldn't
remember which one it was. Here's what I found regarding average scan
times with Openbook.
1670 extremely slow about 60 seconds per page
1660 about 13 seconds per page
1650 about 20 seconds per page
Even if you aren't using Openbook, these specs should still give you an
idea of why people have been searching for the 1660.
I just got a SCSI card to put in my current computer so I could connect a
10 year old HP 4P scanner because the Epson 1250 I've been using has been
driving me nuts with its slowness. The 1250 was taking about 50 seconds a
page, and while that doesn't sound like much when scanning 1 page, you scan
200 or 300 pages in Express Batch mode in Openbook, and it adds up. I only
mention this to point out that you would very quickly tire of the 1670.

I was looking for the Epson 1660 scanner discussed in July on this
list. I found Epson perfection 1650 and Epson Perfection 1670. Each is
$69, refurbished. Are those okay substitutes for the Epson 1660? Nobody
mentioned the work Perfection, and these are photo scanners, so I wasn't
sure. Please help.
