Thanks, Debbie! So glad you're enjoying your 3800. Like you, if it does the job well, I'm not particularly interested in spending well over twice the amount for the 4800 to get a little more speed. accuracy and gentleness on my books (and my wrists whenever possible, LOL) are far more important to me.
Happy New Year to you, too! Warmest, Kim -------------------------------------------------- From: "Debby Franson" <the.bee@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, December 27, 2013 10:34 PM To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Scanner Comparison Question?
Hi Kim!I have only used the 3800 and enjoy it very much. It's fast and scans well. I understand the 4800 is faster, but I didn't want to pay that much extra for the speed gain. To me, it wasn't worth the extra cost, because I upgraded from an ancient HP IIP, which was a lot slower compared to the 3800, so I'm satisfied and then some.Happy New Year to you Kim and everyone on the list. Debby At 01:30 PM 12/26/2013, Kim Loftis wroteHi 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.
