I'm debating about ordering the camera for now because the 600 price ends july 15. My current system uses a regular flatbed scanner and I would like something with more speed. scanning books with a flatbed works but takes forever.

It's totally portable really folds up nicely and they give a very nice leather padded case to carry it in, it uses elegance and Open Book 9. He said the upgrade from 8 to 9 would cost without an SMA $150. The SMA only applies to OB not Jaws. But it uses the same kieys to scan as I use now. It makes that sound like a camera flash then reads it back rather quickly.. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rick Watson" <rwat...@eckeranch.com> To: <blind-computing@jaws-users.com> Sent: Thursday, July 08, 2010 10:34 AM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] comparison of pearl and eye-pal > Good morning, > thank you for the information.
