I have seen a device today called an eBot which is an interesting option. http://hims-inc.com/products/e-bot-ipad-compatible-portable-video-magnifier/. And I thought this product was really exciting, if all you need is OCR and not anything visual: http://hims-inc.com/products/blaze-ez-daisy-multi-player-with-ocr/.

I want to be able to read documents while in class vs having to wait to get home and convert the document.
