The Opticbook 3600 has several "models" that only differ in the software included with it. I'm actually intrigued by the Plustek A300, which they claim can scan an A3 sized book in 600 DPI color at 3 seconds per page.

I have no use for the text-to-speech function, however. If you are like me, I recommend that you get the OpticBook 3600, if it is still available. I do not believe the hardware has changed, and I think I paid $250 for mine from Tigerdirect.com. I have also seen these scanners on Amazon.com. The basic software that comes with the 3600 is quite good, in my opinion. I highly recommend this scanner. I have no use for the text-to-speech function, however.

I hope the Author's Guild doesn't hear about the text to speech function or they'll be suing for audiobook royalties. I want one!
