I have been volunteered to help my gran to scan all her old

beautifully with Ubuntu. Does anyone have any recommendations for a
suitable unit that will work out of the box? It needs to deliver a
reasonable quality and also cope with quite a lot of material! Cost
isn't too important, but sub £100 would be nice, used is fine if they
don't make the model anymore.
Thanks in advance,

Hi Matt,
A while ago one of the guys in my local LUG said he got a slide scanner
which was an "Imagelabs Instant Slide Copier" from ThinkGeek which
supposidly scans to SD Card. Not sure if it scans to Linux too.
You can find it here:

Problem is, it appears that they don't ship outside the US. Not sure if
you might be able to find one on eBay or alternatively a UK supplier for
this sort of thing?
Rob
Have a toot at this Might do what you want
