This order (through Circuit City) took more than awhile to get to me but, ultimately, it was worth the wait. I found the unit very difficult to install and had to go online to get it working. Nonetheless, once it was here and up and running, I have found it very useful. The scanning is easy and fast and the scanned imaged are clear. The unit is easy to use over a wide variety of media, though - full disclosure - most of my scans are limited on one or two pages. I am considering a new "desktop" scanner available for faster use on multiple page items. Good item, fair price.

The software instructions don't work at all. Even worse, plugging the hardware it into a computer almost destroyed the computer - IDK why but windows kept opening and closing all over the computer - the virus scanner kept flagging something - what a mess!! Maybe the scanning hardware is infected with malware, but its also terrible that the instructions were clearly never actually tried before publishing.

Este escaner se puede mejorar mucho más. Debería tener forma de cuña a lo largo del aparato, de tal manera que se pueda meter hasta el fondo entre las páginas de un libro. De esta manera puede capturar todas las partes de la página y además maltratar menos a los libros.Además, debería tener una guía que permita que se deslice a lo largo del libro en forma pareja. Pienso en una

Good for short time usage. Very good and clear scan. Charge only lasts about 3 hours. Recharge takes about 20 - 30 minutes . However, it can continue to be used while charging. Since there is not always a way for me to charge while using it, I had to buy two so that I could continue to work for a full 6 - 8 hour day.

This will save you a lot of money. Much cheaper than other versions of this. I buy out of date textbooks for cheap and turn them into digital versions, so I can take them with me to study without taking the big book!

I have tried everything; in excess of 75 scans and not one of them was usable. The instructions are terrible; they explain nothing. This is a complex gadget and seems like it should work but maybe the problem is I am using it on Macbookpro. I would return it but didn't have time to do so tell the return date expired. So now, in the garbage it goes. I am also not shopping Amazon any longer. The cut-off date for returns is suspect. Health care thru Amazon should really be a treat.

I'm on my second one. The first one worked for a good 6 months before the battery wouldn't hold a charge so I thought well it's not a super high quality scanner but the images are pretty clear and works for the few times I actually need to use it. Then I got the second one. Right out of the box the battery was toast. Wouldn't keep a charge and eventually wouldn't charge at all. It was frustrating because it says it has a full charge and as soon as you use it it says the battery is dead and shuts off. Maybe the second one was just defective. If you are rarely going to use this it's great but I wouldn't reccomend relying on it for everyday use when you need something scanned to use right away

Works as advertised, been digitizing all my books into pdfs
