Edited to add: I can scan 10-15 postcards at a time with the ScanSnap S1500...it takes me less than 10 minutes to scan 100 postcards front and back. This used to take me an hour or two with my old flatbed scanner.

Isn't that a sheet fed scanner? Does it crop the image properly around the outside of the borders?
I was never comfortable putting cards or photos through a scanner like that. I also prefer to preview the scan before actually scanning it, so I can adjust cropping, sharpness and matte patterns, depending on how the scanner is reading a particular type photo or print, to try and get it as close to actual appearance as possible.
I've always been on the lookout for a two-sided flatbed scanner to eventually hit the market, that doesn't cost thousands of dollars.
