I received my new wand scanner. If it doesn't work on Amazon then try Ebay. This one was cheaper at around $100 but only claims to do smaller documents. However I was not chasing a scanner with stitching software this time as I now know how to do that with photo software I already own. This scanner works and I was glad to see a complete set of images when I unloaded it. I have tested it on a complex map and a poster we brought back from Italy. The poster is a thick parchment type of card so folding or bending would ruin it. The middle resolution of 600dpi works well. The software handles the smaller files better and the zoom facility is still good. The poster below was scanned in two halves with an overlap down the middle. There is no way you can tell where it is joined.The scanner is portable with its own power. You can scan anything in a library or a shop for later perusal. No more trying to fold paper over a flatbed scanner.
