Hi all. I am really sad to see this project to go.
I backed it up with 94 dollars, so I hope I can get two of them, if Tomek wil succeed in the project, I feel it is a project that will give us a unique bookscanning stand. I can really recommend this stand and bookscanning attachment. I have seen it, I tested it to give my feedback, and I really love it. Often I take pictures of books, and scan the pictures with the computer afterwards, and it is really great. I am danish and the knfb reader among other ocr programs makes more errors in my language that the computer does, but for taking pictures I really can not recommend this stand enough. If we could get some organizations to support the project it would be fantastic.
