Hello. It has been many years since I've done any sort of serious scanning and I'd like to get back into it. I want a scanner that can capably handle paperbacks and one which is fast. The last scanner that I owned was an HP 3p which could do a pass in 10 seconds and I'd get very accurate scans with OpenBook during the days of the Ruby Edition up to around v6.0. As I just found out that updating to OpenBook 9 is cheaper than I thought it would be I'd like to get a modern USB scanner and would like some recommendations. Someone on another list recommended that I consider Plustek scanners and I think the 4100 was one that was mentioned. I welcome thoughts and opinions from anyone on this topic.
