Hi, Adrian

I have the Pearl/Open Book combination.  I use the camera for physical scanning.  It scans faster than a flat or curved bed scanner but scanning books must be done face up, presenting a bit of a problem for pressing down securely to get a good scan read.  I resolved the press down issue by putting a piece of glass over the book to be scanned and pressing down.  Scanning is then pretty comparable to the larger flat/curved bed machines.   The camera is mounted on a tripod, which folds up for travel.  In all, I'm pleased with the setup.

JAWS 2018 purchasers are being offered a deal on VFO's Pearl Camera. I'd be 
interested in any thoughts on the value of this device. For example, if I'm 
away from my PC, does taking a photo with the Pearl have any use? Also, how 
does the Pearl/JFW compare to the KNFB Reader or any other accessible OCR 
device? Thanks. If I'm not asking the right questions, please ask and answer 
them for me!!
