When you think you know what you want, try online with www.newegg.com for a
good price. I've purchased tons of electronics from them, very satisfied by
prices and policies. Me, I'm still happily scanning with my old workhorse
Epson Perfection 1660. Also try online www.pricegrabbers.com to see who has
the cheapest item you've chosen. For me it's usually been NewEgg, so I go
directly there now.

If you want an extremely durable scanner, optimized for document scanning,
that can scan a page in just about 2 seconds, you may want to try the EPSON
GT-2500. Lists for $595 but is usually retailed for less. See features and
specs at:

And it has apparently an absolute killer document feeder to boot!

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.
