Hi, Patti. Your questions aren't crazy, so don't feel bad. That's how we all learn. Holding down the book usually doesn't take that much strength, but granted, it can get tiresome if it's not something you're used to. We're here to help if you need it. Take care.

I just don't think my hands are strong enough to hold down the book like that all the time. I have a flatbed scanner, not the legal size kind, those are hard to find it seems. However once I have to get a new scanner, I am seriously thinking about the Epson. THanks to everybody who responded to my questions and who continue to respond, you are very n ice to put up with my crazy questions!
