What, I'm confused, what if you get good scans consistently. If you don't
read the book should it be penalized? The reason why I don't do a lot of
proofreading is that my books just naturally come out really clean. They
never seem to need a spell check or anything like that. I do read through
them to make sure they're not full of junk, kind of check a few pages for
consistency, I hope I don't get into trouble for confessing this to you all.
