Gisela, Yeah, you may have to give up on these. I once had a book--a very low-quality paperback--that had some pages with globs that really wouldn't scan although I patiently altered every setting I could think of and scanned the same pages over and over. The book was good enough for me to use in my class, but I didn't submit it to Bookshare. It was thoughtful of you to try scanning these since they don't interest you. Kellie
