I second Vivian. I have one and almost never use it. I use my single sheet
feed
Brother DSMobile 600 far more for pictures, articles and books without a decent
spine that I don't mind chopping. Basically, though, I use my OpticBook 99% of
the time for ease of operation.

Hi Judy;
I received one as a gift last year, I think it was the vupoint. I ended up
returning it. I thought it was great to scan a few pages, and great if you need
the portability, but to scan an entire book it was very tedious, plus you had
to
have a very steady hand. I have several books that I scanned that were
"fragile"
and I used the plustek optic book, scanning in 1 page at a time. That seemed to
work well.
