I think that now that you mentioned it that is what I'm getting. I'd like
some opinions on using a scanner to read textbooks on the computer rather
then recorded books. I'm wondering if it would be something worth while or
should I stick with recorded tapes for books? I personally think that it
would be easier for it to be read on the computer then it would be easier to
move from place to place but that is just my opinion. Has anyone tried
this? If so how successfull have they been?
