Speaking of features, the idea behind A300 was to make book scanning trouble free for both scanner and a book. In the final analysis, you can easily stuff A300 with A3 size as well as an old tumbled down book in thick cover. Judging by the picture you don’t have to keep the book wide opened, neither you won’t have to push the hood down hard and still and up with odd shadows as Plustek confirms. More features – fast scanning (2.4 sec. for an A3 page at 300dpi), USB 2.0 interface, automatic conversion to .pdf, .bmp and other popular formats. I also liked built in optical character recognition (OCR) software. We know that Plustek OpticBook A300 should come out really soon, but there is nothing said about price or anything else.
