too late
I bought it anyway. Their currency conversion is interesting, Finereader 9 was $US250 or $AUS 230 when the $AUS buys about $US0.93. Not that I'm complaining
Today I got my sheets of glass - paperback, trade and A3 size for $AUS25. It turns out that using the A3 sheet on a trade paperback and shooting two pages at a time works very well for me. I'm using Ian M Banks "Matter" as my test subject and got very good results that way, FineReader picked up the page division very well and made very few mistakes.
