The Cannon Lids are very inexpensive and fairly good and sturdy. But for great book scanning the Optibook is the one to go with. Shelley L. Rhodes, M.A., VRT And Guinevere: Golden Lady Guide Dog guidinggolden@xxxxxxxxx Guide Dogs for the Blind Alumni Association www.guidedogs.com The people who burned witches at the stake never for one moment thought of their act as violence; rather they thought of it as an act of divinely mandated righteousness. The same can be said of most of the violence we humans have ever committed. -Gil Bailie, author and lecturer (b. 1944) ----- Original Message ----- From: Lisa Salinger To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, June 09, 2009 12:18 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Scanner Recommendations Hi all, I'm thinking about purchasing a scanner. I have OCR software, but haven't had a scanner for about five years. So, I'm a bit clueless. I'm not looking for one with an ADF, nor am I looking for a multi-function machine. Essentially, I'm looking for something that is simple, reliable, and inexpensive. I would appreciate any suggestions regarding what to get, or what to avoid. Please feel free to contact me privately. Many thanks.
