Manufacturer's Description:
The groundbreaking CanoScan N650U USB flatbed scanner launches a new era in scanning performance, innovation and value - giving you the power to do so much more, for so much less. At just over 2,5 cm high, the N650U scanner is one of the thinnest flatbed scanners in the world. It's also one of the easiest to set up and use. Connect with just a single USB cable to any compatible Mac or PC - no power cord or bulky transformers are necessary. Just plug it in to your computer and scan photos, graphics, copy and more at a remarkable 600 x 1200 dpi for crisp, clear images. Plus, 42-bit resolution gives you over four trillion possible colors for richer, more robust scans. It even has an external programmable button for fast, one-touch scanning.
Canon's exclusive Z-Lid Expansion Top will change the way you scan bulky items, such as books and magazines. Many other scanner covers lift only at an angle and become uneven and awkward when scanning anything that isn't completely flat. The N650U scanner includes a special expansion hinge that lifts up to one 2,5 cm vertically allowing the lid to lie flat, creating the space needed for bulky items.

I got this scanner a few years ago but I really like the smaller flatbed types. This one is one of the smallest, slimmest ever and doesn't even require a power cable.
This scanner I did have working in Windows 2000 with no problems but now it doesn't work, magically without changing a thing on my system. So I finally got around to configuring it in Linux and it scans even better with better quality pictures using sane than it did in Windows with the software that came with it.
This is an excellent scanner to get working in Linux and is fairly easy.
