Thanks, Larry and Sandi!  I wondered if the OpticBook might be my best
option.  I have an opportunity to buy a used 3600... Does anyone know if
there's a significant difference between the two models?  Thanks again for
your help!

I second Larry's recommendation.  I have done many thousands of pages with
my OpticBook 3800 and K1000.  I have had the scanner three years, and have
never had a problem with it.  It's a real workhorse, the book-edge feature
lets you get all the letters in the margins in books where they're squished
in, and the scans are phenomenal.  Not perfect, but I've used several other
scanners, and this one with K1000 is the closest to perfect I've ever come.

Hi.  I find the Kurzweil scanner page to be very old and ut of date.  Many
of us are using the Plustech Opticbook 3800 book-edge scanner and liking it
very much.  It runs a bit more than many epsons selling for $239 or so but I
think it well worth the cost.

Hi, all!  It looks like my faithful Epson scanner didn't weather my recent
move very well, so I need a new one.  I have the KNFB reader for my iPhone,
but I'm not sure how well it does with books.  Does anyone have suggestions
for scanners that work well with K1000?  I'm going to check Kurzweil's
website as well... Hopefully, they still have that page that talks about how
compatible different scanners are with it.  But any suggestion is
appreciated! <Smile>  Thanks!
