But when I started using it, I did start with the books I wanted to scan the most, and worked my way down to lesser desired books.
I don't know if they've improved quality since I purchased my lemon of a scanner (circa 2006-7?). I tend to rate gadgets on whether I would purchase them again. In that respect the OpticBook definitely fails, particularly since there is a much better way for about the same monetary investment (diybookscanner).
