<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Hi Al,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">We currently have a Plustek OpticBook 3800 Book Scanner available for this purpose. It’s quite fast for a flatbed, and the lid can be lifted up for larger books. I think we bought it for around $300 at PC connection.
I would be glad to answer further questions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Just curious what experiences folks have had with the latest solutions in this realm? What options are currently worth considering? Should we look at something like an OpticBook Book-edge model? What about camera based solutions? Any thoughts
would be much appreciated.<o:p></o:p></p>
