My
Fujitsu S300M scanner arrived today & I am thoroughly impressed. Not only is it compact and fast, but it does a great job of managing various workflows (save to file, send via email, save to Evernote). It also impressively handles straightening crooked scans, which inevitably happens when you're sticking different-sized documents into the thing at maximum speed.
I spent the evening scanning in family recipes and putting them into Evernote -- an idea I got from
this Evernote blog post.
Next step will be to scan every single receipt and important document that I receive and then shred the paper version when possible.
