Hi Grace.  I really, really, really like my OpticBook 3600.  It costs $255
from Tiger Direct/Amazon.com, so that's a little higher than you wanted to
spend.  You'll get other good recommendations, I'm sure, but I love this
one!

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Scanner buying advice please

 

Hi List:

 

My scanner just died. I had an Epson 3170. I was not too happy with it
because it heated up after approximately 100 pages and I would have to turn
it off to let it cool. But still I was dealing with it. Now it makes funny
noises and says scan failed. I don't think it can be resurrected. 

I'd like something that scans 15 secs or less. I probably can spend about
$200. I'd prefer to spend less though. *grin*       

 

This is really bad timing for the scanner to die. I have been motivated to
scan. 

 

Thanks for the advice.
