Ok, the more technically minded on this list could probably give you
more information on the compatible scanners question but I can only
say that I have a Canon scanner here which I purchased 2 years ago
and it came with mac drivers for os10, I wasn't using a Mac at that
point but I am now and I've had no trouble installing it.
Read Iris will easily do what you want though you may strike some
formatting issues with multiple column bills.

What I want to do with a scanner is just to check my mail. First,
are most scanners Mac compatible? Second, would Iris be good enough
for reading bills and things like that?

I've been reviewing ReadIRIS version 11.05 for IRIS for Voice over
compatibliity. So far it look to be not bad. In particular if you put
it into automatic mode. (command T). They have a ways to go with
getting he menued buttons working but everything you can do with those
you can do with the menus do it isn't a deal killer.
No Applescript support so I can't write a reading interface for it yet
bu if your looking for a decnet OCR program it is work looking into.
