The CanoScan LiDE series scaners are highly portable and space efficient. The unit measures just 10.1" x 1.5" x 14.7" and weighs 3.97 lbs. One USB cable provides connectivity to your computer and power. Plus, an included desktop stand gives you the option of positioning the scanner vertically to save desk space.

The CanoScan LiDE 60 produces a maximum optical 1200 x 2400 (19200 x 19200 interpolated) color dpi resolution and 48-bit color depth, for over 281 trillion possible colors. The LiDE 60 scanner comes with the CanoScan Toolbox for easy scanning. The scanner can also be accessed through image editing applications which are TWAIN compatible.

For maximum productivity, the Multi-Scan Mode lets you scan multiple images simultaneously and each image is saved as an individual file. The expandable Z-Lid top makes scanning books up to 1" thick vertically an easy task.

As a college student who has to do a lot of research at libraries, the Canon CanoScan LiDE series is the perfect research companion to a laptop. The scanner is small and thin so it fits in both most backpacks and laptop totes. At just 3.97 lbs, CanoScan LiDE 60 is lighter than many laptops and books. It takes at least 9 seconds to scan a page so this is a trade off for portability, but unless you're scanning hundreds of pages, this shouldn't be a significant issue.
