     @Moon @kaia experience with brother here is that it didn't just magically work and their lunix driver hadn't been updated since 2009 or something, had to manually repackage it and then thing couldn't do high resolution scanning

     @kaia probably yes. Tell me what you get, I was looking for them literally just yesterday and they have all become like 200 dollars or more

     @kaia @Moon A lot of people buy sheet fed scanners for scanning books by cutting the binding and feeding in the sheets. It's destructive and I prefer flatbeds since you can give the book away when you're done, but it gives good quality results.

     @kaia @Moon What are you trying to use it for out of curiosity? Document scanning or "cut and scan" scanning?

     @Moon that makes sense.I found the HP ScanJet Pro 2000 s2 50 page duplex scanner. works with Linux, also according to forum article. price did not rise recently. so I think I'll try that one.

     @kaia I didn't think to bring it up but I run Ubuntu, haven't had to do any magic tricks to get it to work but they probably only support one or two distros

     @shmibs @kaia @Moon IA uses something like that and it's great, but it's the priciest. Something like the Plustek Opticbook scanners are great cheaper options. Namely they're unique scanners with a book-edge mounting of the scanner unit but they take a few seconds per page.
