Product Description
Thanks to OpticBook 3600's SEE (Shadow Elimination Element) Technology, any book can lie completely flat on the scanning glass. The result is a perfectly scanned image with no annoying book spine shadow and no distorted lines of text. Often professional book scanners are targeted mainly for large libraries, archive museums, and corporations with big budgets.The OpticBook 3600's 7 one-touch buttons are designed to make your scanning easy and efficient, whether you're using bound originals or normal paper. With just one touch, you can save the scanned images or convert images of the text document into text files that can be edited with a word processor. You may also choose to send them to another application for further editing, to a printer, or to a new e-mail message as attached files.The scanner OpticBook 3600 is an affordable solution for everyone.

 Fit for Purpose October 8, 2008
Bibliopolis CD Reprints (Norfolk, UK)
The important thing to know about this scanner is that it is very good at scanning books, which is what it was designed for. It is not very good for photograph scanning. I scan books for a living and turn them into digitized facsimile versions on CD. Some of the books I scan are very old and delicate and include some hefty tomes several inches thick. This scanner has saved me hours of work that I used to have to spend "cleaning up" images. It virtually eliminates shadows even on tightly bound books. If I have a book with illustrations, I scan them on a photo scanner at a higher dpi and cut and paste, thus having the best of both worlds. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to scan books, especially if they are text only.
This scanner is superb August 30, 2008
Hippo (London, UK)
I need to scan antiquarian books, and for this job the 3600 is superb. You can scan even frail books with little stress to the spine. If text is very close to the spine there can be problems, but it has to be very close.
The reason for four rather than five stars is that the software is just plain awful (with the exception of book pilot which is rather good) and colour reproduction is not very good.
However for scanning books this is the bst available for the price.

The software is very poor - unintelligible interface, slow, bloated. I've been using the WIA driver instead of the TWAIN so I don't have to use it. It's difficult to get to work, and I know what I'm doing.
Once it's running, it's good. Quite fast. The picture quality isn't great, but it's only for scanning books. If you want to scan photos, buy a Canon Lide. This is only useful for scanning books, because the spine can get quite close to the edge of the glass. But it's still not *that* close. I wish Canon would release a scanner that could do this.
Can't handle dark images October 1, 2007

I have returned two of these scanners. Although it copes perfectly with light coloured images, it can't cope with dark images. Both scanners I've been sent have created parrallel white lines down the dark areas of my images. The manufacturers say that this is due dirt inside the casing. Buy a different scanner if your images have a lot of contrast.
