Title: Flimsy
Review: At first, this scanner performed expertly. High resolution, relatively high-speed scanning, no external power cord, compact. Besides a few minor software glitches, it seemed too good to be true.To complete the tawdry cliche, it was. A few months out, it got stuck. That is, the scanning mechanism literally got stuck to the front edge of the scanner. It made funny noises and stopped working. Dead.As an example of the poor workmanship, when you press one of the buttons on it firmly, but not hard enough to break any decent piece of electronics, the mechanism moves. That is, the scanning mechanism is indirectly attached to the buttons you push to turn it on! Try it at a store display! When the mechanism moves by a firm button press, the extremely thin metal rod that holds everything in place bends like a piece of wire in a [garbage] compactor. That can't be good.Although the scanning itself is fine, this scanner is extremely flimsy and is sure to break after a sure period of normal use.
