Hi Gary, thanks for that advice. Luckily my scanner is fixed now, Grandmamma 
jiggled something and it started working yay!
I'll keep that in mind however when scanning paperbacks.

  If I'm scanning a mass market paperback, (the typical size of most 
paperbacks), I make sure to break the book in.  The book won't look great after 
doing this, but it saves from having to press too hard when holding it down in 
two-page mode.  I start at the middle of the book and fold it back upon itself 
until the covers meet and hold it for a few seconds.  After that, I go 10-20 
pages in both directions and do the same thing until I reach the covers, one 
half at a time.
  I've only hurt one scanner over quite a long spell.

    Hi people. I was scanning a book today and I accidentally pressed down too 
hard on it and now the head won't work, wah! Now I'll have to call the place 
where I got it and hope they repaired it. Let's hope I don't have to mail it 
all the way to plustek! That'd be expensive and I've heard too many horror 
stories about that company for my liking. It may just be cheaper to get a new 
scanner, but I heard that they're having problems with them, from Laura Anne's 
email, so I guess I'll just have to get this one fixed. Hopefully it won't cost 
too much.
