I have a CanoScan LiDE scanner that I have had for more about 7 years. It's still works like a charm. It will scan a page a bit bigger than a 8 1/2 x 11 inch sheet of paper. It's only 1 inch thick. It weighs less than 3 pounds. It gets its power from my PC via a USB cable. The cost was $85, and you can buy newer models for about the same price.
