I've found that it is most important to keep the book pressed against
the scanner glass as completely as possible. Don't rely on the weight
of the book or the scanner cover to keep the book in contact. I use
both palms to press down on the book during scanning, but am careful
not to move the book at all while pressing.
One trick I've found useful, especially if I have to hold the book down
AND click something on the computer, or to to the pressing evenly with
less effort....
I bought a bag of BBs -- lead shot might be even better -- and tied them
up in a bandanna. Placing this on top of the book holds it down evenly.
I also use this scanning letters with a crease in them. The even
pressure makes the crease much less obvious.
HTH somebody,
