Pain-enducing scanner
This scanner will break your heart. It is made out of such flimsy plastic that any untoward pressure on it will cause it to seize up. For 80% of scans the moving scanning part will get stuck and seize up as it reaches the 66% mark on the screen surface. I use this scanner for scanning my handwritten notebooks. The only way to do this is to rip the pages out and scan each sheet separately as the weight of any notebook or book will cause the scanner to get stuck two thirds of the way through. But even that is no guarantee to problem free scanning. So I recently took to using smaller notebooks so that I would use less surface area of the screen and thereby avoid the dreaded 2/3 area where it gets caught. This worked well for a while, using only the latter half of the screen, till recently it started seizing up even in this half of the screen. The only way now to make a complete scan is to hold one end of the scanner up while the scanner is going down the screen, so as to allow the plastic wheel mechanism not to get caught as it routinely does, and then quickly adjust to tilt it up at the other end as the wheel makes its way back up the screen. So you get exercise while you scan! True this is a cheap scanner but I would recommend you throw your $60 out the window over buying it as that way you will save yourself a whole lot of grief in attempting to perform a simple task, such as scanning a sheet of paper, that is way beyond this piece of plastic's ability. I would never buy Canon again after this. Any recommendations for a light-weight but functional document scanner?

Bang for the Buzz
I was in need of a scanner for my laptop, as the interface with my HP7XXX series all-in-one sucked as far as scanning went. After much review reading here and at Newegg, I decided that for the cost the LiDE90 was probably what I was looking for.

My only real need was to scan B&W documents for work. To this the LiDE90 has performed well, with one caveat. It is, as many reviewers have noted, a noisy little bugger. Maybe noisy is unfair. How about buzzy? The carriage movement is on the loud side, meaning that in general it doesn't bother me but I would be hesitant to use it with someone sleeping in the room. So if you are planning to use this in stealth mode forget it, but other than that you should be fine. Color scans range in the 2mg size, greyscale 80kb.

Overall it does the job at a good price. I will report back when it gives up the ghost, (as all things must).

Works well with Vista
Purchased this scanner since previous HP scanner was not compatible with Vista at all. This scanner was a huge improvement. The scan quality is good and it doesn't take up much space on my desk as well.
