I’ve also had this scanner for a couple of years (had to import it from England at great expense) and it is brilliant. However, it doesn’t scan right up to the edge, I think it’s about 10mm short. This is annoying if you’re scanning in some paperback books. Having said that I always buy the tree version of a book and then scan it in and convert it to either text or Word before reading it on whatever device I have to hand.

I’ve almost finished scanning in all my books and once you’ve set it up you can watch telly or whatever while you’re busy turning the book and pressing the button. It takes less than an hour to scan in a large book.

I have been using one for almost a year and LOVE IT. I just have to scan in my books for graduate school (About 1.5-4 hours per book) and I have everything I need. I usually scan while watching TV. I save it as a PDF and read whenever I have a chance.
