I guess it depends on the scanner. FOr me, landscape sucked, not to put too
fine a point on it. I don't know, maybe it's the book, I don't know. EIther
way, I've found something that worked for me, which i guess is all that
matters <g>.

Landscape is useful for paperback books so you can scan two pages at once.
As most of the time, a paperback doesn't fit on the scanner in a "portrait"
position but sideways in the Landscape position.

I've done some other research. I believe that one of the settings is off.
Image orientation should, for best results with typical paperback books, be
set to portrait, not landscape. Landscape basically twists the whole page
around and makes it sideways, resulting in rather funky and amuseing scans.
Of course, this may just be with my particular scanner, a Lexmark 1270. But
I think I've found the best positions and settings (god that sounds just
wrong doesn't it?) for my particular case. I want to thank yall for your
assistance and I'll be submitting a couple of books, starting with the last
book in the indian in the cupboard series this weekend.

With the settings that I gave you, it will kind of skip them. Basically,
when you do the OCR or read process and get the file from an image into a
text format, the images will be ignored.
