Hi, Paonia

Not sure why you would be interested in anything but a flatbed for Bookshare?  
I would hate to despise all books to use a sheetfed system like the Epson you 
asked about.  The preferred scanner of Bookshare scanners is Plustek OpticBook. 
 The 3600 has been discontinued a few years and can be found cheaply on eBay 
(or I may have one soon), the 3800 is newer and the newest, the 3900, and I 
might happily add, Windows and Mac compatible, so I can finally scan on my Mac. 
 Software for Windows is still more advanced, but I am happy for the new Mac 
offering.

Hope that helps!
Valerie
