hi. As others have said thanks for the info, what i am more interested in though, is the quality of the ocring. After my eye operation i got the option to study too become a nurse. And let me put it like this, scanning over 4000 pages with a optic-book is far from fun. I will keep the whining about that till another time, but, this new thing, how good is its quality? How huge books can it handle, can it only ocr the text if it is in english? I am right now considering a "clear-reader" but am not totally decided.
