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

I love it! 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.

I love it! 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?
