hi, sorry i wasn't following this thread earlier, so not sure whether you're looking for only a scanner, or something portable that will also do the reading. if u also want the reading then do check out the Eye Pal Ace reader, which does both, the scanning and reading, and which u can get to see at Karishma enterprises in Mumbai. it is very expensive though, around 75 thousand. and there also are a few issues with the after-service, and the hardware after only a year of usage. but portability-wise, it is the perfect thing to have. don't remember the exact config, but its about 1 and a half kgs with i think a 10 inch screen. the lens is very good for A-4 size pages, and they also now have Sangita, the Indian accented tts as an option. if u do consider this, then get in touch with me, i'll give you a few points of warning about it, so that you are sure of things before you invest in it.
