[blindlaw] accessing textbooks while in law school

[Tai Blas]

For this purpose, I recommend Fujitsu scanners with automatic document
feeders. Mine has both an automatic document feeder and a flatbed, allowing
me to scan a variety of documents at high speeds.

Don't forget, that if all else fails, you still have the option to scan the
material you need to read.  In some cases that will be your only option..
Therefore it is important that you acquire a high quality ,high capacity,
high-speed scanning system. I rely on such a system in my practice.
