I have bought this scanner for home use, because I wish to express my media into a database quickly and reliably. I use the scanner for books, DVD's, CD's and games. The first impression after unpacking: very light but also very handy. USB plugged in - and it worked out great. Nothing had to be installed, I was able to get started right away. The scanning works great, EAN and ISBN are recognized immediately. I find the price-performance ratio was absolutely in order.
