just spent 10 minutes trying different batteries

If the battery is too charged (freshly charged 2200ah 1.2v nimh rechargeables im using) then all the lcd's light up and the unit is inoperable. once it's been on for a while (draining battery) then it seems to work ok, but it sucks up battery power pretty fast - i would estimate 20-30 documents and you need to change batteries.

it is 3 weeks past warranty so nothing i can do now but give it a poor rating and recommend against buying this item. I would change my rating if best buy sends me another one (of course they are under no obligation to do so) :||

plus it won't charge off of usb - silly.

as far as document scanning - it will clip the top few mm of the page just because of the mechanics of how it works. you need a very steady hand and smooth motion, even then it can go crooked quite easily. also i wish it had a built in lower resolution as i need to email all my scanned docs - so i have to go into microsoft picture manager and compress the images individually - quite a pain.

this is a great little portable scanner. It does everything stated plus more. I would recommend this item to anyone who need to scan receipts, notes, letters or anything else while on the move. This device is truly portable and very easy to use.
