The most I've done in a single day (and I will never do it again, my shoulders ached so the next day!) is four books. As long as I have something else to listen to while scanning--an audio book usually--I can sit there for hours and scan. I use the little earbud type earphones, so I can monitor the scan in one ear, and have my book in the other. My partner thinks I'm insane. LOL But this is a person who finds it difficult to even read a book through, much less scan one. Clearly, it's a mismatch. LOL Joanie ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shelley L.
