Nice! How
is its multi-platform support? I'm sure the doc organizing program is Windows-only,
but what about the rest?
They sell Mac and PC versions. The PC version comes with Acrobat Standard.
The Mac version comes with Acrobat Professional, so it costs a bit more.
A few minutes' googling today tells me that it works under Linux
with SANE and the Windows stuff works under VirtualBox.

As I said, apparently used by a lot of professionals. Another nice bit:
they actively sell the consumables such as cleaning kits and recommending
you replace the pick rollers every 100,000 sheets or the pad assemblies
every 50,000 sheets. I haven't had any trouble with mine so far.
Comes with a clear carrier sheet for holding odd-shaped items, and
a clever mechanism for auto-rejoining some multi-page documents.
