Hi. If you're looking for a small, fast scanner, you might consider the Canon LIde scanners. I have used them for years, and they work well. I have owned a LiDe 30 and a LiDe 70, and both of them have served me well. The LiDe 30 scanned over a thousand books for me before it died after around five years of almost daily use. The software that comes with this line of scanners stays out of the way and doesn't interfere with Kurzweil in any way. I bought mine from Office Depot, and Staples has these scanners too. This scanner is light and slim enough to fit into a laptop bag, so it can travel with you if you're in school or want to scan a reference book at your library. I'm interested to see what others will recommend for you. I hope this helps.

Hi all. I'm ditching my old epson, and would rather not use them again. they're ok for printers, but I can't instal the one I had with out help, so unless epson wised up, I don't want to get another one. I'm not a brand hog, I just want a fast scan using k1000 not a huge one so it won't take up room, pretty quiet, and not that expensive.
