Summary: Getting rid of paper clutter
Comment: I clip articles and recipes out of magazines and they hve piled up over the years. Since I am normally an organized person, I needed a way to save these but throw them out,too. This Pentax scanner has been the perfect answer. It is light weight and takes up little space, but really gets the job done. The program that comes with it allows you to set up separate files and then drag the scanned item over to the corresponding file in which to save it. Voila! End of mess!
Note: If you don't like the black of the unprinted part, just put a white blank sheet of paper through simultaneously behind the article being scanned.

Summary: Great value, performance
Comment: This scanner is definitely a price performer. There may be some things you'd wish for but remember, this is selling for under $130 so there's gonna be some compromises. For that price point, I think this might be a best value.
The things I like about it:
- very small form factor makes it easy to take along
- runs solely from a USB port - no external power supply
- simplicity
- quality of scans is great for documents
- speed of scans is good (not screaming fast, but good)
The things you may not like about it:
- the included software does the basics but not much else.
if you have other software (PaperPort, etc) you will be happy
- the resolution is not for high-res photo scanning. It does
a good job, but at 600 dpi it is what it is
- no sheet feeder. you have to feed documents one at a time
- single sided scan. you have to reverse and refeed doublesided docs
If the sheet feeder and doublesided scanning are a must-have, don't get this scanner. Get out your wallet and shell out the $300 for a SnapScan. If you can live without those things, you'll get a smaller form factor and save a couple hundred bucks.

Summary: Bad QC from PENTAX, Good Customer Service from Amazon
Comment: We received the product on time. Installed software and hooked up scanner, no joy. Scanner would not feed the paper into it at all. Called Amazon.com and they sent a replacement right away. Have not hooked up replacement yet.
I would not recommend buying this simply because you can get NO support from Pentax. Amazon. com has has been good, but Pentax support stinks.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Does not work with Linux.
Comment: The product description indicates that this scanner works with Linux. It doesn't at all and I can't find evidence that anyone is working on making it work. Don't buy it if you run Linux (any Linux). It even had some problems working in Windows XP.

Summary: Awesome little scanner for when your in a pinch...
Comment: I bought this scanner for traveling and work related scanning in teh field. As luck would have it I used it the day after I installed it on my computer. It functions well and the scan qulity is very good the only problem I have was getting a business card to feed straight but the software took care of that problem. It scanned the documents I needed and although it a little slow it works great. I am now free...I have a mobile office in my truck...great product, great price.

Editorial Reviews:

This powerful, compact, lightweight 600-dpi color scanner is combined with dynamic software to provide exceptional quality scanning and easy management of documents and photos. The DSmobile 600 is a direct replacement for the DSmobile USB but provides higher resolution, high-speed USB 2.0 interface, and additional software that will enhance and simplify your scanning needs.
