Ibrahim,

Try MicroTech.  According to Amazon, they even have models now which can
handle 12" X 17".

I have one of their older model legal size scanners which I bought a couple
of years ago.  It's easy to use and hasn't given me a bit of trouble.

Subject: [bookshare-discuss] What happened to the good old days large
surface scanners?

Hi Folks,
My old Hp4c Scanner died, and I spent a lot of time looking for a scanner 
that has similar large surface, but I could not.  All scanners I found has 
significantly smaller surfaces.  The hp4c has a 14 inch by 9.5 inches which 
made them suitable for most books.  Now, the largest surface of the scanners

I could find is 11.7 by 8.5.  which make them small for most books.  This is

extremely frustrating.  Did any of you figure out a solution to this problem

?
Cheers,
Ibrahim
