 Awesome Product!!!!!!!!! May 12, 2007

I sell books on Amazon and Ebay and this book scanner is absolutely an essential part of my book selling business! It's super easy to use and comes with great software (PhotoImpact). Plus, it's less stressful on books (especially the older ones) compared to regular scanners. It has paid for itself already. I know my buyers pay more for my books, because of the excellent photos this machine creates. Whoever devised this scanner has my blessings!
Optibook Scanner Excellent December 19, 2007

I scan lots of books. The Optibook is designed specifically for scanning books. I have low vision and must scan all my books in order to have my computer read them to me. The Optibook is easy to set up and easy to operate. I love the quick push button format that quickly scan your book pages. If you are looking to scan books, this scanner can't be beat.

Do not purchase this one. I purchased this scanner on January 2006. It stopped working on February 2007.
 Good Book Scanner for the Price, but UNSTABLE Software August 29, 2007

If you read other reviews saying the software is unstable, DO BELIEVE THEM. I took my chances and bought it anyway. I found out they were right. You can (and should) consider purchasing some other software and just leaving the CDs in the box (except the driver). I have a lot of thick books to scan (500-2000 pages each) and I'd say the software crashes at least 3 to 5 times per book (and that was AFTER installing the patch from the web site - it was much worse with the version in the box). About once every thousand pages, the software crashes and gets corrupted to the point where you have to completely uninstall it and the reinstall it. Sometimes, even that doesn't do the trick and you have to know how to clean it out of the registry (NOT for the novice Windows user). The company does offer a clean-up utility to get it out of the registry but I found I still had to do it manually a few times. This is NOT acceptable and very discouraging. Find some other software and factor its price into the cost of this scanner when making your decision to buy. Now, as for the scanner itself... decent considering the cost (not a lot of other book scanners in this price range). Don't expect every page to be perfectly straight the first time (I learned to live with it) but the clarity is good. The file sizes will add up, especially when you convert to a PDF. The PDF stores each page as a graphic (picture) and you cannot select and copy text as you might expect. I tried using the OCR feature that comes with it but found it did not do a perfect job of interpreting the graphic into text. What's more, if you try to use OCR your PDF won't look like the book. Overall, buy it if you intend to use 3rd party software.
Great book scanner May 27, 2008

This is a GREAT scanner if you need to scan books (either entire or pages). There are better photo scanners out there for less money, so don't waste your money if this is your goal. It is NOT a all in one device, Plustek designed it with one goal in mind, and if that is what you need it for you will not be disappointed.
