It's a little more complicated than one would think at first. There's really a
whole package thing to consider. What operating system do you intend to run
and with what OCR software. The 48 has had some problems in Windows 7 64 bit
with K1000 as far as I've heard. These may have been resolved, but I don't
know that. Other than that, I'd have bet that my Opticbook 3600 would have
died long before now, but it keeps going strong. The Opticbook is a great
scanner. The 4800 is supposed to be really fast, too.
Good luck.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Scanner Comparison Question?
Hi all,
Hope everyone is enjoying a fun, festive and fabulous holiday season.
I know we've been around this topic several times, so please forgive
something of a repeat. My dad gave me a heck of a Christmas gift and offered
to buy me the book scanner of my choice, so at last and to my total delight,
I'll be starting to scan regularly and abundantly for Bookshare. I'm nervous,
but also very excited. What a present!
So, to those of you who have used the Optic-Book 4800, how does it compare to
the 3800, if you've used it? If the 3800 will sufficiently meet a regular
scanner's needs, I'm perfectly happy to stick with it. Any other scanners to
consider? Is there something similar to the 3800 that is also large enough to
accommodate a larger book, say, a coffee table sized one?
All experiences / advice very appreciated. Anything will be marvelous after
my little Cannon flatbed. *smile*
I really look forward to becoming a regular scanner, and to volunteering in
that capacity. I'm sure the first submission will be the most daunting,
psychologically, anyway. Hahaha.
Thanks so much.
Warmest Wishes,
Kim
