Mayer Goldberg –
this is a serious case of “shut up and take my money!”
I got this scanner for humanitarian reasons: We’re all out of space at home. Our house is filled with thousands of books, most of whom can just as easily be read in PDF, and the books keep multiplying when we’re not watching… I was looking for a means of eliminating most of the physical books and replacing them with PDF files that I can then read on my tablet. Some books will have to remain: Reference books, certain textbooks, dictionaries… But most other books can be replaced with PDF files.And this is where CZUR ET-18 Pro comes in. It’s a life-safer, it’s a must. If you have too many books at home, just get it.Cons:- The scanner is not cheap. But if you take into account that you’re recovering square feets in your apartment or house, the cost of the scanner becomes negligible. If you plan on scanning books (e.g., from a library or books borrowed from friends) then the scanner will pay for itself rather quickly.- The software that comes with the scanner is not of great quality: It will crash after scanning a large number of pages (between 450-500 seems to be the magic number). The solution is simply to save every 300 pages, and then use other software to combine the documents into a single book.- The software lacks many options that come with software made for other scanners. It’s ability to edit the document is poor. The user-interface is not very friendly.- The documentation that comes with the scanner is rubbish.- There is a certain learning curve to operating the scanner and the software properly: You will need to learn how to switch between different options, e.g., for the cover of the book vs the inside. You will need to learn how to hold the book open using the plastic finger thingies that are provided. You will need to learn at what speed you can scan. This takes time, and you’re going to mess up the first N scans. But then your hands and foot (yes, it’s operated with a foot pedal) will get the hang of it, and your copies will come out perfectly.Pros:- Less than 1.5 seconds for scanning two pages. I don’t know of any other scanner with this speed!- The foot pedal is pure genius. That said, the pedal is too light, and the cable is a bit on the short side. I’d rather they made the foot pedal much heavier so that it would be stabler…- The software, as clunky as it is, actually does a fantastic job when one needs to replace sheets, and this can be done in much less time and with no hassle.- The scanner lives up to its promise: You can scan a 350+ page book in under 10-15 minutes, and get a perfectly usable PDF file.- Even though the software lacks OCR for right-to-left languages (Hebrew, Arabic, Farsi, etc), it does handle right-to-left documents well in terms of splitting and ordering pages in right-to-left books.- The scanner is very forgiving when it comes to page size: It handles page sizes from very small to A3! If you check youtube, you’ll find ways of using this scanner for even larger documents, simply by elevating it a bit above the scanning surface, using, e.g., a small stack of books.The scanner lends itself to a crazy workflow & reading schedule:- I scan books at full speed- While I scan books, I’m listening to ebooks from my tablet- When I’m done scanning a book, I add it to my tablet. ☺I’ve increased my rate of reading dramatically since I started using this scanner.My advice is to get yourself tiny rubber thingies you can place on your finger, to help you turn pages. They’re dirt-cheap, available online on aliexpress and ebay, and will really speed-up page-turning. If you don’t want to get these or can’t find them, make your own by cutting a finger off of an ordinary latex glove, and using it to turn pages…In two days of casual scanning, I’ve managed to scan well over 20 books, and read 4. This is becoming my weekend hobby! If you love reading books, but are running out of physical space for all the books you’ve collected, you really owe it to yourself to have them scanned! You can fit thousands of books on a micro-sd card in your tablet, and carry your library with you!

A Great Tool for Researchers Using Old Books and Other Material
I bought the CZUR ET24 as I had watched a few videos and read a few reviews of it, after I had narrowed my search to a CZUR product. It is drop dead simple to set up and use.I am writing a history of my small hometown and much of the material I have from that era, for direct use and for time period reference, is in the form of old and mostly out of print books and images I got from old newspapers – from fifty plus year old microfilm.I have a small book I was using, about 150 pages. I set up the ET24, downloaded the software in a few minutes and scanned it, my first attempt, in 12 minutes, using the auto-scan feature. You can turn a page and when the software detects that movement has stopped for a couple of seconds, it will scan. This means if you have to adjust the book, or fumble with turning a page, the scanner won’t fire and get an image of your hand.I did some editing and adjusting of images, which took another 13 minutes. This is while learning to use the scanner. I was able to save it as a searchable PDF and I could upload that to my Kindle reader. I also uploaded it to my Voice Dream Reader, and I had an over 100-year-old, out of print audio book, as well. Just being able to highlight as I go on the Kindle is a tremendous time saver, not to mention the fact I can use the Kindle’s search feature. I can also share this material with others or draw from it for on-line forum posts.I had previously gotten images of newspapers, from 1897 to 1931, that I saved as jpg images from microfilm at a public library. I have them in folders by year. I was able to upload these folders, combine all images into one searchable pdf and now I can search the newspapers for any words or phrases. This just involves the software, and not the scanner- even if I did not have the scanner this software is well worth the purchase price, for me. I can now search, literally thousands and thousands of images and I do not have to read and index each interesting thing for future reference. It was literally a few clicks to get this done. Those few clicks saved me days of effort in finding what I wanted.With the scanner I can get images of things such as old scrapbooks, and photographs. I can also get images of 3D objects- in my case some old photo print blocks from a long-ago newspaper from the early 1900’s. I can save these scanned images as Word Docs and then copy and paste them into the text of the book I am writing.I can also easily take this with me to sites where material is stored and do my scanning there. Previously I was capturing images with my phone, then downloading and spending a lot of time putting them into files and tagging them with the names I could reference in a search. I can now capture the images, tag them all at the same time e.g. “1927 Scrap Book-Mary Smith” and the software will number them in the order in which they are scanned. I can save all images as singles, and/or save them as Word Docs/pdfs- or both.I do woodworking and I do not buy the cheapest tool. I always say, “If you buy a cheap tool it will work just well enough to tick you off and you’ll wish you’d bought the better one.” The ET24 with the adjustable overhead lights and the lights on the post of the scanner make it possible to get good images from e.g., glossy objects or 3d objects, where you’d want light on the sides as well directly overhead.If you find yourself ruminating over if you want to buy the $600 one, over the $300, then you, like me, probably really want and need the $600 one.
