Product DescriptionThanks to Plustek's patent pending SEE Technology, any book can lie completely flat on the scanning glass.

Rating: - Great book scanner
I liked this scanner so much that I bought a second one. I've had both for more than three years. I've installed them on both Windows XP and Windows 2000 (English and Japanese versions). I have never had a scanner install and work so flawlessly. Despite what some of the other reviews say, I have found the software to be stable and totally crash-free. Previously I have used Epson and HP scanners, and in my opinion the OpticBook 3600 offers comparable scan quality with software that is more innovative ... Read More
Rating: - Unreliable scanner. Unreliable company.
This scanner may look nice, but hold your judgment until you use it around a year.
I was a big fan of this scanner until recently.
Opticbook scans books fast without damaging spines.
I used it very carefully.
I used another scanner of mine for non-book materials, because I didn't want to waste the lamp life.
The result: its lamp died after around 200 scans.
I used it intermittently, so I was out of warranty when the lamp died.
I've used scanners of several manufacturers, ... Read More

This is a GREAT scanner if you need to scan books (either entire or pages). There are better photo scanners out there for less money, so don't waste your money if this is your goal. It is NOT a all in one device, Plustek designed it with one goal in mind, and if that is what you need it for you will not be disappointed.

... but when something works it seems less people take the time to say so. I've had my 3600 for over 2 years. Teamed with Omnipage Pro (I said Pro) and Acrobat Pro (Pro, again) it has given me a nice searchable version of the significant books of my trade.
No, it's not a 500 page per minute $12k robot with dual digital SLRs. It's a flatbed scanner of moderate resolutions (it's not made for turning photographis into poster-size prints) made specifically to get into the nooks and crannies of Books. ... Read More
Rating: - Optibook Scanner Excellent
I scan lots of books. The Optibook is designed specifically for scanning books. I have low vision and must scan all my books in order to have my computer read them to me. The Optibook is easy to set up and easy to operate. I love the quick push button format that quickly scan your book pages. If you are looking to scan books, this scanner can't be beat.
