You know, I don't really notice much difference in scanning paper or hard-backed books. For me, I think it really depends on the quality of the print, and the type of paper that is used. Fortunately, with a few setting changes, I can make both types of book scan quite well.

I'm sure there are a lot of factors. I'm curious as to which tend to yield the best quality when you OCR the scanned pages. And - which are easier to actually scan? Paperbacks or hardbacks? Does the size of the book (thickness and page dimensions) make a big difference in ease of scanning? Or are there other things to look for if you have a choice between multiple versions of the same title? Thanks all! Judy s.
