I am using it with the ResourceMate library system and it worked great right out of the box.

No sorry we have not used it with Booktracks Text Book. We have not had any type of problems with this scanner. Great price for the product.

Yup. Works great with mine. Going to buy more cards since SWMBO keeps loading MY card with HER talking books.

The sansa e280 can play books on tape, but it is tricky. It took me a while to figure it out but it can be done. You have to set it up as a play list to keep the book in order. Plus before you transfer the tracks to the sansa you have to make sure that all the id v.2 tags are labeled differently because that is how sansa labels the tracks, not by the filename. I know this because that's all my wife lisens to on hers.

I only used it for music which typically lasts just a few minutes and another number starts again. So I am not sure what effect a continuous dialog will bring to the conversion process. I doubt there should be any, I just never used it for books.

Yes, but you need to be very careful when you work with it. I used it for all my books.

I was able to scan sheet music using the book mode and then I imported into my iPad and was able to use it directly in a pdf reader. I use Evernote, but any will do! I did not have any alignment problems.

Yes, I use it everywhere. I take it outside and travel with it. I use this for pleasure reading and not textbooks. I only have 2 negative remarks about this stand. First, the pegs that hold the book only move left to right, so you can't have them close together and moved backward to hold smaller books. I have a silicone/rubberized headband wrapped around the top to help hold the book and don't usually use the pegs for smaller books. Smaller books do work, but you have to have them lined up perfectly. Second, it is slightly bulky for travel. When closed it is about 3 inches thick. I take it with me anyway, because it is the best alternative I have right now. I feel this stand was worth buying. Yes, I use it everywhere. I take it outside and travel with it.

I've only had to do this once...and it worked just fine.It will of course depend on your program the document is formatted in. But, we simply love this machine. The company we bought it from has always been happy to help me with any problems I encountered while learning to use it.

Hi: Actually it does pretty well. Even down to the size of a drivers license, although I'm not sure how many pieces you could feed at one time. It is a very good machine, the software is simple enough. I copied a book, 8.5x11, 50 pages, in a little over a minute. (front and back)

I've used it for smaller delicate books around that size and it has been very helpful. I've only had the stand for a week but have used it everyday so far with text books and leisure books, would definitely recommend.

I've found it works with all types of book, flyers, brochures, single sheets. The only problem I've had is small thick books that don't stay open well. With these I have had to press the spine back a bit, but it's still better than just putting the book on the counter.

Yes, I have used this on my MacBook Air. I have had no problems, other than me sitting down and actually getting my book out if my head and into this awesome tool.

I have the Kindle & my daughter has the Nook. We share by loading books on to our computer on a free program called Calibre. Calibre has a "convert" feature that converts back & forth from Mobi to epub or epub to Mobi since they require different formats (or pdf, etc...) then we load to the other person's reader. Works fabulously!

Depends on the book. For textbooks not always. There isn't enough space in the book between the text and the binding so the words on the left get cut off. That or the scanner is slightly too big and wide so the scanner doesn't capture all the text. I would say for most books it's not suitable and you'd be better off with a flat bed book scanner which is much better quality and easier to use but more expensive.

It works just fine. You would place the scanner on the book, with the top taken off and move it around the book page. Depending on how big the old book is will determine how many times you have to move the scanner. One thing I learned the hard way was that I didn't overlap the scanned pieces enough at the beginning and the stitching software couldn't put it into a whole piece. Otherwise I have taken this with me on my genealogy quests with great satisfaction. Only problem, as I've mentioned before is the battery dependence. Bring extra memory cards or have the ability to download from the little card. Without a card or battery, it doesn't work.

I haven't. Ours worked great. The only problem I had was when someone moved furniture and moved the time by accident. Hope this helps

Yes. I just bought one and borrowed books from the Public Library and transferred without any problems. Great sound.
