Don't worry about it then. This discussion has to do with those who
don't have consistently good scans.

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.
