Hi Jamie, Mayrie, and list.
Thanks for your quick responses and helpful advice. I should've
mentioned that I have an optic book. How does it help in scanning these
difficult books, besides the one-page mode, which helps with all books.
So, if you put the book so that it doesn't quite line up with the edge
of the scanner, how do you get it to lie flat? Does two page mode work
better if you press on the spine?
I realize that I'm asking a lot of questions, sorry. Julia

Books with little to no margins are so hard because you either get a
dark line in the middle that covers part of the text or you don't get
the text at all. I find the Optic book helps with this a lot, also if
you can press hard on the spine. If not, I find I have to type in the
missing letters or words as I scan which takes a long, long time. Or
send a copy to Bookshare that they can chop and run through their high
speed document feed scanner.
