Hello Anne and Esther: I am going to be in the market for a scanner or one of those multi- function printers. Since I will eventually be using the ABBY Fine Reader Express software, do you have any recommendations for a good scanner?
Anne, I liked the thought of being able to scan a 200 page book in 10 minutes. I could use that feature.
