Yes and no. It's a great guide, but should not be relied upon totally. I've found that optimizing a page from the middle of a book gives me great results for the most part. There are always some pages, however, which need to be rescanned at a different brightness level, maybe 5 or so one way or the other, usually up, but not always. Using the poorly recognized pages feature will help find these pages. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Edwards, Paul" <pedwards@xxxxxxxx> To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, April 19, 2004 9:52 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Scheduled to Scan > Well, I just finished scanning the Footprints of God by Greg Iles at the same time it appeared on book share.
