Looking for a portable scanner to take with us when we visit relatives to scan their pictures and also to take to other places to scan documents, eventually to upload to Ancestry.com.
We bought one at Best Buy but not sure it's the best one. It's a little distorted. It's a VuPoint Magic Wand, Model PDS-ST415-VPS. It will do both jpegs and pdfs although I'm not sure if I will ever need to scan pdfs while doing genealogy work, will I? The Magic Wand got excellent reviews but willing to pay a little more money to get better results.
