Dear Friends, Sorry for replying to a topic which is one month old, as i have not been checking the mail regularly.
Yes, the price of Pearl is quite high therefore we have been using Lex camera scanner at our university which is similar to Pearl but in some cases even better and the price is only Rs. 48000/-. As Ms Chandrani mentioned that she is facing problems in saving in image format. Lex has the feature of saving the scanned book in high resolution JPEG format at 300 DPI. The pages can be rearranged as required before saving in JPEG. You can save the scanned book in pdf also which Openbook does not supports. Also in doc, docx, rtf, MP3 and JPEG. Any questions regarding the scanner ask me as we are using it in our JNU library.

Basically one takes the snapshot of the page and then the rest of the job is finished by Openbook. Hope that answers the question. Regards, -- Amar Jain.
