Pros: Works as advertised. This is Not a photo scanner, it is probably also not designed to scan whole books. But, to scan a few pages, sections, or chapters it works great. Also works great for periodicals and journals. Very happy with my purchase.

Cons: The software is a little finiky, and not as userfriendly as others, and I have also lost a few scans. But if you take a little time to learn its pecularities, its works.
