Steve, I've been looking for one of these book-edge scanners for some
time. Seems Amazon do it almost as cheap as anyone:

One of our specialist education firms declined to talk to me at all
when I enquired about a bookedge scanner, so nice I can say 'up
yours!'
Cheers,

Hi Caroline,
Two words for you. OpticBook 3600. It is a fantastic scanner. It is
expensive, but it has a book edge, which means you can easily scan
paperbacks, and it gets right to the spine. And at nine seconds a
scan pass
over a page, it is darned fast too.
All the best
Steve

Subject: [access-uk] New Scanner For OpenBook
Hello,
I have been using an Epson Perfection 1660 with OpenBook 7 for several
years. The scanner now needs to be replaced, and I would be
interested to
know whether anyone has bought a scanner recently for use with
OpenBook or
any other OCR package and whether it has been a success or not.
I have had a look at the Freedom Scientific page of supported
scanners, but
there must be about a hundred models listed and it is difficult to
know
which one to choose, although I imagine many of them are no longer
available. So if anyone has any recommendations to pass along, that
would
be a great help.
Thanks,
Caroline.
