I also use openbook and don't have that problem. You could try going into 
scanner settings, and change the contrast to darken page, or the resolution to 
300 dots per inch. hope that helps, Julia

  I have never had any problems with those books.  I guess it depends on the 
scanner.  I scan all types of books, all sizes and typesets, and I don't have 
any problems with it.  I won't even go into settings...I will probably lose 
myself. *L*

    what happens when you scan those books?  The reason that I asked is I am 
having trouble to with a book that is a harlequin   so I bid on a hp 5200 
scanner on ebban and I won it so it may have been the book all along but I 
checked on the list of scanners that work with openbook and the one that I got 
from ebay is on that list and the one that I have is not.   Amber.  G.

      I have done some scanning of what I think is called a "trade paperback", 
which comes down to being a rather inexpensive paperback, about maybe 6 by 8 
inches, like the Harlequin Romances are, for example.

      I think the print quality isn't great or something because I can't get a 
good scan. I'm most frustrated. Is there any way to improve the quality? I'm 
using Open Book 7.02.

      And, please, don't go too techy, or I won't get it! Thanks.
