Thanks for the hint.  However, I've to repeat: I do *not* need a scanner
especially targeted at scanning books.  What I need is a scanner that
can scan to the edge of the *glass plate*.  Maybe that sounds too
trivial and thus leads to misunderstandings on this list.

As far as I know, there are scanners in the sub 100 EUR range, perhaps
even in the sub 50 EUR range, that can do this.  I just don't know which
ones.

If I do not find such a scanner, I may have to build a stencil that I
can put on my current scanner.  Actually, this should not be too hard.
I'm annoyed however, that this step is necessary.  Why didn't Epson make
the visible glass plate simply a bit smaller?
