Hi Vapour!
Thanks for letting me know. I definitely think this is the scanner I will go with. I hate to damage my books...I love my books! *L* 

Take care,

Maithe

The two major differences are the following: The scans are of amazing quality. Also, because it is a book edge scanner, I can scan just about any book without having to remove the binding, and still get the same quality of scan if I had. This is great for library books or books that my wife, who is sighted, and I want to keep in our personal print library. In fact, because it is a book edge scanner, I don't really stress the binding much at all.

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?

I bought it on Amazon for about $230 before tax and shipping. It was definitely an expensive purchase, but well worth it. It's pretty quick on the scans. Ten seconds or less a scan .

Where did you purchase your Opticbook, and if you don't mind my asking, how 
much did it cost?

Also, how fast does it scan?
Thanks,
Brian Miller

Hi list,
This is just a quick note to let you all know that I just installed 
the
software for my new Opticbook 3600. I am happy to announce that it works 
very well with Kurzweil 1000 version 7, and I'm getting practically

perfect

scans. I didn't check to see if Sula, by Tony Morrison, was in the
collection, but the only thing it had trouble with was the cover of the book. The actual pages of the book were perfect. It should also be noted 
that this is with default Kurzweil settings. This is one of the best
purchases I ever made, even if it was on the pricey side. Well, with all 
the
books I am going to scan, it's going to pay for my Bookshare membership 
dues

for at least a few years.
