The pricing concerning the Fujitsu Scansnap, varies. I purchased the S1300i model through Amazon for $250. This includes the Scansnap software with ABBYY Fine Reader and the scanner. My scanner is a 9-page tray machine with a very compact footprint. It is all quite easy to setup and use. I wish I had this during my first round of graduate school because while Kurzweil is great for the Windows platform, it was slightly cumbersome to constantly load VMFusion just to scan textbooks. In this case, I would be more willing to have the binding removed so scanning could be less of a chore, and more of "a minutes" process, rather than a devoted period of time that cut into reading. Furthermore, while I know the 1500 model is slightly more expensive because of the wireless capability, I would like it for the 50-page loading tray, which would be easier to work with. I have been creative and have inserted several pages behind the 9-page limit, but sometimes the scanner does get the better of me. :)
