Epson have the name for scanners, and I have two (plus an Epson A3 scanner, which cost a fortune and I hardly ever use).

But they _still_ don't seem to support USB 3, even their latest top-of-the-range A4 scanner.

I've just bought a portable one, - cheap and compact. I also think it will be easier to scan smaller receipts with it (no need to glue them to an A4 sheet etc.).

If you don't need it to be a flat-bed type one then the Fujitsu Scansnap S1300 is a great little bit of kit. Very compact (almost portable), good for scanning documents to searchable PDF files.

I use my phone or tablet to take a photo and then Cam Scan to turn it into a PDF.

Yes, tars what I have. The toolbox software that comes with it is very good _ so easy to scan to milk paged PDF.

It's bigger than a dedicated scanner, but I bought a cheapish Canon all in one printer/scanner/wifi attached thing a few months ago for about £40 from Currys of all places. Does the job

Canon are fine. Or a cheap Lexmark printer. Had the X1190 for years, about 30 something quid, prints & scans fine for my unsophisticated needs.

PS Small and CHEAP!
