Hello, all
I have used openbook. I don't feel I use it all that well. I just want to
be able to sit down and read a bbook. I don't need something that isn't
fancy and has all the whistles and bells. It isn't comfortable to sit at
my computer to read a book. I have other scanning issues but won't get in
to them here.

First of all, with any stand-alone reading machine, if you really think
that what you have is just a scanner, you have been deceived.
You have, a scanner and a PC all in one box. There's no way around it,
you are using a computer!
Second, you have paid most likely twice what you would have to pay if
you bought a computer and a scanner and software.
Finally, OCR software allows you to do many things that no reading
machine will. For instance, creating bookmarks with study notes in
files, looking up words in a fully functional dictionary, and giving you
the ability to create a list of corrections for common scanner errors.
There is so much more, but I'll get moderated if I keep going, so I'll
crawl back under my mossy stone.

I've used both a stand-alone and scanning software and I prefer using a
stand-alone scanner.

:I agree with Richard. The stand alone units were designed for a niche
: market, namely people who only want to read, and do not want or need
any
: additional computer functionality. If you already have a PC, you have
: no need for such a device. And, a PC with OCR software will still be
: less expensive than one of these devices.
