It's under
Scanners > Slide Film Scanners if it isn't found on the homepage anymore.
I don't suggest it for serious use, but anybody curious can pick it up for a song right now -- even $30 is a bit much for it, in my opinion. I'd grab one for $20 if it had free shipping. Good for preview-quality-only scans, taking on road trips, emergency backup, etc. Just a cheap little device.
