Plustek OpticBook 4600 - Optimized for Book Scanning
Financially struggling college boys probably have had photocopied textbooks that might otherwise have cost upwards $100 each. However, nearly all the photocopied versions share the same problem of having distorted lines at the protruding binding edge. The problem is even worse for photocopies from hardcover books.
This is where Plustek OpticBook 4600 book scanner comes in; the company’s SEE (you don’t have to worry about the acronyms) combines a patented lamp light with a special edge design that allows scans right up to where the book spine is. The result is a perfectly scanned image with no annoying book spine shadow. They also said this saves the need for bulky overhead scanner. While the OpticBook 4600’s small footprint is definitely its strength, the scanner’s speed of 3.2 seconds at 300dpi is equally impressive. Hopefully, these couple with the ability to export scans to searchable PDF format should be able to convince a few more roommates to chip in even at $699 per unit.Permanent Link
