There are a range of standard camers out there that can connect for scanning. Is there a good reason for using the Pearl and what is the cost?

It is portable, as it folds down into a roughly 3x3x20 inch case. Mine sits on my desk ready to use. Very quick compared to a standard flatbed scanner, since it snaps a picture rather than scanning across the document. Don't have a Kurzweil, so cannot compare. Call me on the phone if you want to talk more about it. Phone number to follow.

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!!
