Hi Jim
No wonder you were able to scan Helping People with Mental Illness for me so 
fast.

  Hello Maithe:
  It does not turn pages. You must turn pages and flip the book if you are 
doing single page scans, which is what I do. The scanner is fast. It scans a 
page in about 5 seconds, takes about 2 seconds to return ready for next scan. I 
find that while the scanner is returning to start position this gives me time 
to flip the book or turn the page. So there isn't a lot of lost time when doing 
the scans. I find that I can scan 350 page book in about an hour.

  Hi!

  I have a question about this scanner...what is the big difference between 
  this one and other scanners?  I know the scan is better, but is it really 
  faster?  I was reading about it and it said something about being able to 
  turn the pages without having to move it?  Maybe I misunderstood.  What is 
  the real difference that you have found?
