I noticed with the Epson that the higher the number, the better the scan. The previous Epson I had made more mistakes than the current one I have. I guess the more advanced the scanner, the better the quality. I know that once I wear-down my current Epson, I am going with the Opticbook...hubby promised he would get it for me. *G* I think that by the end of the year, I should be scanning with my new Opticbook. *L* Hey, maybe if I am a good girl I will get it for Xmas. *L* Maithe ----- Original Message ----- From: Amber To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, October 03, 2007 1:41 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Scanning Trade Paperbacks don't worry you are not the only one having this problem.

I have an Epson 1660, and it's one of the kind suggested. Maybe it's the book. Don't know.
