Thanks for the hint. However, I've to repeat: I do *not* need a scanner especially targeted at scanning books. What I need is a scanner that can scan to the edge of the *glass plate*. Maybe that sounds too trivial and thus leads to misunderstandings on this list. As far as I know, there are scanners in the sub 100 EUR range, perhaps even in the sub 50 EUR range, that can do this. I just don't know which ones. If I do not find such a scanner, I may have to build a stencil that I can put on my current scanner. Actually, this should not be too hard. I'm annoyed however, that this step is necessary. Why didn't Epson make the visible glass plate simply a bit smaller? -- Felix E. Klee
