Scott, While I'm not an experienced Open Book user, I'd recommend that you look at the scanning options under the settings menu. There are margin options available.

I use the 2-page feature and it works very well. My question is whether there is a setting which I can enable so that my scanner won't scan all the way down the glass. I would guess there are about three inches of space between the edge of the paperbacks and the edge of the glass, and I thought I might be able to shave a couple seconds off my scanning time by just scanning to the edge of the book. I know this feature exists in Kurzweil, but I am not sure about Openbook. Hope someone can help, Scott
