Mobile Scanners - 12 Days Of Paperless Gifts

Mobile Scanners – 12 Days Of Paperless Gifts

GiftboxThis is Day 3 in a 12 Day series: 12 Days Of Paperless Gifts. If you know someone who could use some help going paperless, or if you deserve to treat yourself, this is the place. If you don’t, feel free to ignore this series. Normal DocumentSnap posts will still be coming!

We’ve covered desktop document scanners and home document scanners, so it is time to complete the trifecta. Mobile document scanners for those that are on the go (or want to save even more money).

If you (or your lucky recipient) wants a scanner that can be put in a bag or that takes up very little space, the mobile scanners that have come out in the last year can be a great category.
