Any recommendations for a A4 scanner working with #FreeSoftware for private use? Should not be too large and not too expensive. Thanks! #nt
@kirschner a few yrs ago I analzed the ethical factors on every consumer scanner manufacturer I could find. The answer I came up with was "Avision MiCube". Takes an SD card and can also attach as a USB mass storage device, so it's totally platform neutral.

@kirschner the only notable shortcoming is that if feeding multiple pages, it often grabs more than 1 page. So you need to keep a grip on all pages below the top page as it goes
@kirschner This is the article: https://web.archive.org/web/20201107024424/https://steemit.com/liberty/@apertus-cogitari/which-printer-and-scanner-brands-are-ethical-get-your-boycott-on-the-evil-has-been-charted I regret that that site has become a #CloudFlare site, so I give the archive.org link. But an important diagram is missing from archive.org, so you might have to go straight to steemit.
