I should clarify re: the Epson software scanning two pages. The software does one scan, but you can specify 'zones' which are then scanned, in order, to separate files. No second step is needed. It's a very nice feature, imo.

Both the Epson 3200 Perfection Photo scanner and the Opticbook scanner are letter sized. The Epson also came with software to match up smaller scans into larger images (primarily aimed at creating panoramas, etc., for images) but I haven't used it.

One other plus, for me, anyway, of the Opticbook is that it opens from the side (the hinge is along one long side, not the 'top') which makes it MUCH easier to scan books, ime.

I hope I've answered all the questions. If I didn't, it's because I missed them, so please ask again.
