Well, it can't do much of anything more.  Scanning recognition might be a 
bit more inaccurate because of the folds in a book.  The one thing it does 
do nicely, actually two I guess are:
1.  It is more compact for conserving real estate.
2.  If you scan books, it is a lot easier on the binding unless you have a 
Bookedge scanner.  If you set OpenBook to automatic scans, you can scan with 
the Perl and just allow a few seconds between pages so you can turn the page 
and it will automatically scan the new page.  With that auto-scanning, you 
can scan your page in five or ten seconds per page instead of forty seconds 
per page using a scanner.
