Hi Richard. I look forward to this.
I hope the Fopydo will be possible to ship for Denmark. I would really be interested in a device which works for bookscanning, at that point standscan is a little difficult, I am not able to get alle the text on a page, I know newer phones can easily mannage, but standscan can not. Isn’t it a problem that these devices do not have light built in? I use an IPhone 6 plus. Best regards Annie. > Den 13/03/2015 kl. 05.39 skrev Richard Turner <rich...@turner42.com>: > > There are two stands that I would recommend over the Giraffe Reader and > Standscan at this point. > Scanjig, $40.00 plus shipping, which is made out of hard plastic and is quite > sturdy, but may be a little bulky for those who want to take it on the go.
