the canon Lide 20 is a nice 600x1200 USB scanner. just over an inch thick no power cord as it powers from the USB cable. $45 at Amazon right now ( a good deal in Dec was $80) Downside - the software requites that you have Photoshop7 for OSX to get around this, you can use some great software called Vuescan. it's priced around $40 and is fantastic. I don't own this scanner yet but I helped two friends get setup with the same scanner and they both have been happy. considering one for myself at this price. Best -Preston
