    anyone know a fast scanner that is 250$ and below? it can be a full size dedicated scanner or somewhat portable flatbed, as long as it scans fast and can save mutiple images to the computer then i'm good. at the moment i have a canon scan LIDE 100, and it was good before cause i rarely scanned but now i need a real scanner cause i scan alot, books and etc.

    the canon scan LIDE 100 takes like 40 - 50s to scan and save a color document at 300dpi, and the laser retracts just as slow, so i have to wait for it to retract back. so that whole process is like 1min+ . as long as there is scanner that can scan 3-4 times or maybe even 5 or 6 times faster than this and is under $250, then i'm happy.


    thanks in advance!
