AS someone who has scanned over 500 books for Bookshare, I can tell you that
higher resolution can degrade scan quality. It may seem counterintuitive,
but it's true nonetheless. For example, the default resolution for K1000 is
300 dots per inch. But you can set it to 400 or 600. The scan quality is
often not as good at these higher resolutions. For larger print, the
difference is even more noticeable. Oftentimes, 200 dots per inch is the
optimal resolution for larger print, and there's a substantial degradation
in quality with higher resolutions.
In other words, you don't necessarily want or need the highest resolution
camera you can pack into a device for OCR work.

I'm not into photography but perhaps that doesn't matter for text? I know
that - when scanning with a monochrome flat-bed scanner - it usually doesn't
make any difference for OCR work.
Let's see how good the device is before we start getting ahead of
ourselves,.

It comes with a 5 megapixel camera. I wonder why they couldn't use an
8-megapixel camera? Wouldn't that make the scanning even better?
