Ricardo, That is really my point. What are you willing to pay for ease of use and quality of results. If the $100 ABBYY Fine Reader Express product gets the job done to your satisfaction that is great; however, if the $299 DocuScan provides the access, quality, and end results for you that is great. It to me is about meeting your needs. I could easily purchase this product or the $1,000 plus product. Of course I'll purchase the product that meets my needs at the best possible price. I asked the question since I wonder at times if the reaction is partially a side effect of what people have paid for "blindness" products in the past and here they have Macs and iOS devices that they paid for, and at the same price as their sighted counterparts. DOes that make sense?
