I'm not sure what *very* clear is, but I've had good luck with my Canon LiDE
25 from newegg for $43.  I use it mainly for scanning in lineart from
drawings and vectorizing them in inkscape.  Ubuntu is what it runs on, and
it powers off the USB, so there isn't a power cord getting in the way.
I looked at the SANE supported devices list before I got it too.  Here is
the link if you need:
